Hi 👋 can you elaborate a bit, what do you mean when you say testmode becomes inactive? Did you try making an API request in testmode and encounter an error?

When I wanted to delete our test data I was presented with this screen and wanted to inquire what the scope of test mode in this context would be.

Will I be able to still develop and interact with Stripe API locally or will it fail whilst in the process of deleting data

Ah gotcha, I'm not sure off-hand how that delete works or if it would result in blocking API requests. Let me see if I can find some clarity on that.

Thank you, much appreciated!

Thank you for your patience, my teammate has confirmed that triggering the deletion will block API requests made in testmode.

Thank you for the response, appreciate it! Is there a general strategy or recommended approach you have for this? Should one just delete this frequently to prevent a build up of data?

Local development, tests, CI runs all interact with test mode which builds up test data over time and so was curious if you have a recommended approach for dealing with this?

We don't really have any recommendations around using that feature, it's mostly there for convenience. If the data in your account starts being too cluttered to be useful, or the volume increases to the point that finding the right records becomes tedious, then it may be a good time to clean up. Personally, I have yet to use that for my test account and let the test data accumulate without issue.

Thank you, this is great! Last thing to confirm. Is there any sort of limit from Stripe's side as to how much data you can have in your test account.

I guess I am curious as to if I am going to get an email one morning saying you have reached your maximum amount of data in your Test account. You will need to delete some in order to create new test data.

No there's no limit to the objects you can create in test mode
