Why does my Ledger balance not match my available balance?

Never enter your recovery phrase on any other device. Anyone who gets your recovery phrase can take your crypto assets. Ledger does not store your private keys, nor ever asks for it.
No matter what, this phrase = your private keys. Whatever is secured on that device, your access to all of it is boiled down into this one phrase, meaning that even without the device itself, you can still access everything you own – as long as you have stored this phrase safely.

Why is ledger balance different from available balance?
This difference is important to understand because you should usually only make payments according to how much is in your ledger balance. The ledger balance is the actual amount you have, while the available balance is the potential amount you have once all as yet unprocessed transactions have been completed.
A corporate account's average ledger balance is the account's average ending balance during the month. To calculate the average ledger balance, a company combines the ending balance from each day during the month and divides the result by the number of days in the month.
It's the amount you have in the account before any pending charges are added. Your available balance is the amount you can use for purchases or withdrawals. It's made up of the account balance minus pending debit card authorizations and holds on funds.
