We don't have an event before the billing cycle change AFAIK, unfortunately

#

You probably need to setup a cronjob system and tracking before the billing cycle comes

I see, so if I set up a cron job system, is there a way to stop the charge coming from Stripe without cancelling the subscription (like leaving it in a "paused"/in dunning state)? Or should I just cancel the subscription to prevent the charge attempt?

#

stepping in on behalf of orakaro, actually there is an invoice.upcoming event that you can look at : https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/webhooks

#

you can also pause subscriptions : https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/pause

#

okay thanks! that is really helpful info

#

I have another question, because I was checking in stripe dashboard for the invoice.upcoming event

#

I noticed that the payment_intent on the upcoming invoice was null. Is there a reason this could occur?

#

as far as I understand, I would have to use the payment_intent on the invoice to then check the balance on the payment_method -- unless there's a more straightforward way to do the balance check

#

it hasn't been created yet

#

it's "upcoming" but it hasn't actually happened yet

#

wouldn't you be able to check the balance from the financial account object? https://stripe.com/docs/api/financial_connections/accounts/object#financial_connections_account_object-balance

#

then compare that to the amount which is going to be deducted on the upcoming invoice?
