I received $342 through Apple Cash and the payment says completed, but my balance is only $2.99. I haven't spent it, my account isn't restricted, and restarting my phone hasn't helped. What should I check?
Why is my Apple Cash balance missing a completed payment?

Check Apple's System Status page for an Apple Cash issue. Service problems can affect the displayed balance even when a payment shows as completed, so this might not be something you can fix on the phone.
Keep an eye on the balance and transaction history. If there's an active issue, check again after it's resolved. A completed payment alone doesn't tell you why the balance is short.

I'd contact Apple Cash support and ask them to trace that specific payment. Have the amount, date, transaction status, and a screenshot of the balance ready. Ask whether there's a known issue and when to follow up if the money still isn't showing.
You've already restarted and toggled the service, so I wouldn't keep doing that while waiting for an answer.

Look through the Apple Cash transaction history for the $342 payment and any transfers or payments that might explain the difference. If the history doesn't account for it, save the details and give them to support rather than assuming the money is gone.

Don't send another payment just to test it. If the balance is unreliable and you need to pay for something now, use another payment method if you have one while support checks the missing amount.

I'm already on hold, so I'll have the transaction details ready when someone answers.
