There will be one for each individual charge on the sub

And the first one won't occur until the customer inputs their payment method and confirms the initial payment intent

Thanks so much!

Follow up question: is there an "easy" way to tell if a payment_intent.succeeded event is the first for a given subscription? In our system, we have business logic that needs to execute after the first (and only the first) payment on a subscription.

You could maintain state in your db. For example have a boolean on the customer like active_subscription. Have that default to false, and change it to true on the first successful payment

Then if you get a subsequent payment_intent.succeeded event and active_subscription=True, you know it's not the first one

And you can always set active_subscription to false if the customer cancels the sub (or is cancelled due to failed payments or something) via the customer.subscription.deleted event
