The provided value remains unchanged until other value is sent on [connect_session/reconnect](/account_information/v5/#connections-reconnect) or [connect_session/refresh](/account_information/v5/#connections-refresh). - `mark_as_pending` - leaves identified duplicated transactions in `Pending` status for clients that establish connections with providers having a non-null `custom_pendings_period` - `mark_as_duplicate` - identifies transactions as duplicated and sets the `duplicated` flag to `true` - `delete_trasactions` - removes identified duplicated transactions
