Hi 👋 which of the pause behaviors are you looking at using? Their behaviors are described here:
https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/pause

Pause payment collection

Learn how to pause payment collection on subscriptions.

Hello! keep_as_draft

#

This is an invoice generated from a paused behavior=keep_as_draft subscription with collection method charge_automatically. I don't see anywhere in the draft invoice UI that would let me finalize the invoice -- my only option to advance the invoice in the UI seems to be to charge the customer

#

The flow we're looking for is:

Subscription drafts an invoice, and does not send any emails
After manually reviewing the invoice, we can click a button to finalize the invoice, which will subsequently email the customer

Looking at the behavior described for keep_as_draft it looks like you can make a request to update the Invoice to set auto_advance to true to resume the typical Invoice lifecycle. Is that not what you're seeing?

Is it possible to do that via the UI?

I'm not sure, we focus on helping developers build API-based integrations, so we aren't as familiar with the dashboard flows. The fact that you have the option to turn off automatic collection there gives me the impression auto_advance isn't currently disabled for that Invoice.

That is true for that screenshot, my bad!
