I am not sure if you are aware of this security feature or not but all credit cards have a cumulative tap limit on top of a daily tap limit. It's a forced feature to make you include your PIN which then proves you are in possession of your card. It's used for fraud purposes and to ensure they can enforce their cardholder agreements.
That is why a lot of times people will say "the tap isn't working today" at a location they frequent and are forced to PIN. It limits scenarios where you lose your card and someone can tap away until they drain the account.
That may or may not be the case for your fuel station.
