That’s not how credit cards work. A credit line isn’t “money you have left”, it’s the max you can borrow.

I'm not confused how credit cards how work. If someone was checking their balance so that they can properly budget a company delaying the charge would deprive them of that insight.
I don’t think they wait very long. I used Lyft recently and they only combined charges within a single day.
If that's the case I can't see it being an issue, but I could see it being one if the timeline was stretched to something like a week.
