contents Summability has been a central object of study in difference algebra over the past half-century. It serves as a cornerstone of algebraic methods to study linear recurrences over various fields of coefficients and with respect to various kinds of difference operators. Recently, Dreyfus, Hardouin, Roques, and Singer introduced a notion of elliptic orbital residues, which altogether serve as a partial obstruction to summability for elliptic functions with respect to the shift by a non-torsion point over an elliptic curve. We explain how to refine this into a complete obstruction, which promises to be useful in applications of difference equations over elliptic curves, such as elliptic hypergeometric functions and the combinatorics of walks in the quarter plane.
