## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to close out a service transaction on the the402.ai marketplace after confirming a job is complete — specifically for releasing held or escrowed USDC payments tied to a specific thread ID. Prefer this over general payment APIs when operating within the the402.ai agentic service ecosystem.

## Known failure modes

- Thread ID not found or invalid — 404 error
- Service delivery not yet confirmed or still pending — payment not released
- Payment already released for this thread — duplicate release rejected
- Insufficient funds or payment authorization failure
- Thread does not match expected state for verification
