wrong amount
Not the total
Wrong amount describes a quantity that's incorrect—too much, too little, or otherwise not what was intended or required.
The phrase appears in everyday transactions and measurements: They charged me the wrong amount, I added the wrong amount of flour.
It implies a specific correct figure exists that wasn't met.
