Hi everyone,
Looking for some insight or similar experiences regarding a frustrating issue I am having with transferring Avios from British Airways (BA) to Qatar Airways (QR).

Here is the timeline of what happened:

Monday: I successfully transferred some Avios from my BA account to my linked QR account. The transfer went through instantly, and I was able to safely use those points to book flights on the Qatar side.

Tuesday: I needed to transfer the remaining balance to top off another booking. However, every single attempt since Tuesday has failed.

The Error: Both the BA website and the BA App throw a generic "Something went wrong" error message.

What I have tried so far to troubleshoot:

Pulling from Qatar Airways: I logged into the QR website/app to try and "pull" the Avios from BA instead of "pushing" them. It failed on the QR side as well.

Double-checking details: Name, DOB, email, and addresses match 100% perfectly on both accounts (obviously, since Monday's initial transfer worked flawlessly).

My questions for the community:
1、Has anyone triggered a security block specifically after a successful transfer?
2、If this is a fraud/audit cooldown period, how long does BA usually take to automatically release the block?
