I think you can be sure this will never happen.
Monzo have always made it a feature that you see your balance including all pendings, rather than having it change days after a transaction.

But unless Iām missing something here it doesnāt matter who you bank with or how the balance is displayed, but your available balance will still be ~Ā£100 down so you still wonāt be able to buy anything with the money.
I guess without the preauth situation improving the best thing to do would be to make use of the overdraft facility. AFAIK you only pay fees on cleared transactions when youāre overdrawn not pending ones. Iām sure someone else can confirm/deny this.
Thank god I seen this comment.
I was absolutely baffled when I paid for fuel at pump
the pump said competed and I drove off . But when the money never left and all it said is Ā£1 taken and waiting to collect i panicked. Thought I committed theft at a petrol station. Its absolutely bizzafe they canāt take that money and se it aside deduct from balance now im scared to use the card incase I donāt have funds left in it .
Reference for future pay at kioskš¤¦āāļø
Pretty sure you know how much fuel you put into the car, so manually work out whatās coming out and donāt use that.
The Ā£1 auth should have gone away everywhere by now I thought?.. it should authorise up to Ā£100 (or thereabouts) then confirm the transaction at the correct level within a few minutes. This was changed precisely because it was confusing and causing people issues (not to mention the fraud risk - steal a card, then go from petrol station to petrol station loading Ā£1 a time onto it).

as far as i know only Morrisons do this to dateā¦
The Morrisonās near me do Ā£1 auth, but it updates to the full amount within a minute or so of replacing the nozzle. Tesco also does Ā£1 auth and takes a few days to update the amount.
Pretty ridiculous when the rules about this changed in 2017. Taking a few days isnāt acceptable, or even saneā¦ itās an online transaction.
