When the collection_method is set to charge_automatically, then invoice will be in draft status for an hour and attempt to finalise and charge the card saved on the subscription.

For more details, you may refer to the guide here: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/overview#invoice-lifecycle

That doesn't happen though

If you call the finalize API it moves the invoice directly to the paid status in a very specific scenario, skipping the open status entirely

Which the docs don't mention that possibility
