Not sure about the max number of "do you want another transaction?" cycles. A girl I met at my hotel last month had the same thing happen to hear at Kuta Square. She lost the whole $700 that had been in her account. Lucky (??) for her it was a secondary account and she had a shared account with her boyfriend that they'd been using for spending money. It just happened she was out without him and didn't have the right card with her or they'd have cleared even more money out of her account.

It still left her $700 out of pocket and a heap of bills waiting for her at home, but could have been worse.

She'd gotten distracted by the large wad of bills and hadn't started the transaction properly anyway. She claimed it was all in Indonesian and she hadn't been given the option of English language (which didn't seem right to me, but who knows?).
