Handling Partial Payments for Custom Services via Flex Microform

"I am currently working on a custom integration using CyberSource Flex Microform for a client's site. We are processing payments for a specialized surveying service where the transaction amount is calculated dynamically on the front end based on user input.

The challenge is that the final 'capture' happens after a manual verification step. Has anyone experienced issues with authorized amounts expiring if the manual review takes longer than 48 hours? I want to ensure we don't lose the tokenization before we can finalize the charge.

For context, the front end uses this Land Plot calculator to determine the quote before sending the data to the checkout. I'm wondering if I should be using the 'Sale' or just an 'Authorization' only call for this kind of variable-pricing model? Any insights into the best practices for this workflow would be greatly appreciated."
