If you send USDT-TRC20 and your bot says "not paid", check which of these three it actually means. Nearly every integration collapses them into one boolean, and the collapse is where money gets refused.
1. NOT PAID — the transfer does not exist, or went to another address, or the amount is short. Say which, by name.
2. PENDING — it is on chain, it succeeded, and it is not yet irreversible. TRON solidifies about 17-19 blocks behind the head. I measured 2,810 real transfers from inclusion to confirmation: floor 58.0 s, median 77.2 s, p90 83.7 s, slowest 313.6 s. Nothing confirmed under 45 s, because nothing can. A 30-second timeout refunds people who paid.
3. UNKNOWN — you could not read the chain. This is NEVER "not paid". A 429 from the index, a timeout, a DNS blip: you did not look, so you do not know.
The trap is #2 turning into #1. The fix costs two lines: if the receipt says the call executed and the transfer matches, the answer is "pending, retry with the same txid", not "failed".
Free, no key, checks all of this against the chain for any txid: https://a07-139-59-46-185.sslip.io/v1/tron/settlement?txid=<64 hex> -> SETTLED / SETTLEMENT_PENDING / FAILED / NOT_FOUND / CHAIN_UNAVAILABLE, with the block, its timestamp and the live solidity gap in the response so you can disagree with it.
