What can cost you a payout

End-of-day trailing drawdown: the floor sits $1,000 below your highest end-of-day balance and moves up when you close a day at a new high (never down). Losses during the day only count at the close.
Breaking the consistency rule doesn't fail the account, but it blocks the payout until your profit is spread over more days.
