Capital One - Register issues post account reauthorization

Question

May 6th I was prompted to reauthorize my Capital One accounts. I did. And now I have an issue with the credit card accounts register balance. The transactions download and are correctly posted as charges or credits but the balance is wrong. If the balance on the credit card is $1000 and a $10 charge is posted, the balance becomes $990 and not $1010. Conversely for credits. The issue occurs only with the credit card accounts and not the savings/checking accounts. I had hoped this problem would correct with a subsequent update - but one week on this problem persists. I didn't see any other post about this but there is one recognizing multiple Capital One account reauthorization requests.

I have Quicken/Windows.

Problem started when I reauthorized my Cap One accounts on May 6th

Anyone else having this problem or know if a fix is in the works?

Anja, To clarify, the screenshot I sent was for the period May 13 to end of May. I actually had some manually projected monthly payments to my credit card for the remainder of  2025 which accounts for that ~$46k balance.

I did plow through the 2700+ transactions and identified two uncleared charges that I deleted as well as an uncleared transfer from another account. I deleted that too and was surprised to see that it didn't change the balance of the account that the funds had been transferred from?? Anyway, all to say that not only did this correct the credit card account balance but it also corrected the issue that the charges and payments were inversely impacting the credit card balance.

So this issue is fixed BUT I do want to point out that it is not unusual for there to be a balance mis-match after Cap One account reconciliations. This issue has happened many times but never before did it change how a payment/charge impacted the account balance. There is definitely something quirky that happens with some of the Cap One account reconciliations that cause these inexplicable balance mis-matches that then force the need to add a one time manual adjustment to the balance. My 2c :(

Thanks for sharing the screenshot.

It looks like your register balance is off by $46,294.20 compared to the online balance. This kind of discrepancy is often caused by an adjustment, duplicate entry, or another manual input that throws off the register. I recommend reviewing your register to see if anything stands out around the time the balance went off track—possibly an overpayment or incorrectly entered transaction.

To help troubleshoot, here are a few suggestions:

* Clear filters you have on the register, as they could be hiding key details (green Reset button at the top of the register).
* Once filters are cleared, please send a new screenshot so we can get a better view of the full register.
* Additionally, if you have a backup from before May 6th, I recommend that you try restoring it to see if the balance matches up better.

Alternatively, you can also reach out to  Quicken Support  directly so they can take a closer look and help resolve it faster.

Let me know what you find!

Anja. Here it is. You can see that the register balance is not the same as the online balance. And the subsequent charges show the balance going down not up. And the projected end of month payment increases the balance versus reduces it. Thanks……
