Hello @satisfiedshoes

Ref: https://developer.authorize.net/api/reference/responseCodes.html?code=54

CODE: 54

EXPLANATION: The referenced transaction does not meet the criteria for issuing a credit.

INTEGRATION SUGGESTIONS: The referenced transaction does not meet the criteria for issuing a credit. It may be unsettled, an invalid type, the wrong currency, an invalid reference transaction ID or settled more than 180 days ago.

In your case it seems you submitted refund requests against (60177506194 ; 60177503762) shortly after these two transactions were created, unsettled transactions cannot be refunded, they can only be voided.
