Rain Check
I've learned a phrase: I'll take a rain check. It means "I want to refuse your invitation", but at first I couldn't understand the meaning because I didn't know what a raincheck is. I think this phrase is indirect, so it seems like Japanese refusal phrases. When it comes to Japanese, it's uncommon to say "No" directly when you refuse something, and people use indirect expressions. Sometimes it occurs miss communication.

"I'll take a rain check" is "no, but let's do this later". Usually, when I use it, I really do mean "maybe let's do this later".
It's not a very common phrase and it's very casual.
For English, it's polite enough to say, "I'm sorry, I can't...". You can also provide a reason.
For an polite indirect refusal where I don't want to directly say no, I usually use "maybe later.". And then I might add, "I can't right now because..." with a reason.

A "raincheck" is usually used when you are at a shop and unable to buy some product immediately, you ask for a raincheck to buy the product at a later day. Nowadays, few shops offer rainchecks.
The way you're describing it is colloquial: it's not just "I refuse", but also suggests "let's do it another time", such as with the original meaning of a raincheck.
I don't recall hearing it used in this way in Australia growing up.

"Rain check" doesn't actually mean a refusal. Depending on the context, it usually means that someone is busy and they might actually want to reschedule. But if you're asking them to meet up, and they keep saying they are busy, it probably means they don't want to hang out.
