Braintree sandbox derives the processor response from the amount, so 2000.00 always declines

The sandbox decides the processor response from the transaction amount, which is how decline paths are tested without special card numbers. An amount of 2000.00 produces a processor-declined response and 2001.00 produces insufficient funds, with further documented values in the 2000 to 3000 range mapping to other decline reasons and amounts at or above 3000.00 producing gateway rejections or errors. Amounts below 2000.00 are approved.
A test suite that happens to use a realistic cart total near 2000 therefore sees mysterious declines that look like an integration bug. Confirm by charging exactly 2000.00 in the sandbox and reading the processor response code. Keep happy-path test amounts well under 2000, use the documented values deliberately for decline tests, and assert on the response code rather than the human-readable text.
