I'm sorry, I don't remember them all. Some to sending invoice
I can see that other events are fired and delivered to me correctly (e.g. subscription creation) but invoice.created simply stopped working

would you mind sharing your account ID?
maybe you changed the webhook endpoint's events

you're not listening to the invoice.created events

The problem is invoice.upcoming, not invoice.created event

I want to handle invoice.upcoming event in my code.
Apologies for the confusion, it's invoice.upcoming that I am. interested in
What is more, I might not be listening to it, but if I create a monthly subscription in test clock and then forward the time, shouldn't the event fire and be visible in the list of events?
it hasn't fired in a while https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/events?type=invoice.upcoming
real tartan
it should but it depends on your subscription interval and the settings in your dashboard
tough vector
which setting?
tough vector
I had a monthly sub and forwarded the time a month and a bit. I have Upcoming renewal events set to 7 days
real tartan
you should forward only by 3 weeks
in test mode the invoice.upcoming doesn't get triggered if the invoice is to be created

checking
still doesn't work for me https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/customers/cus_O51YAtpm6MUVKV
unless - will invoice.upcoming fire if the previous invoice is still open?
tough vector
sure, let me do it
real tartan
create a new test clock, new customer, new subscription

I need to test a situation where a user can pay manually. How I can simulate this in test env? "email invoice to your customer to pay manually"

it works if I choose payment by cc
but I need to test emailing invoice to your customer to pay manually
how can I do it?
I tried marking the invoice paid or paying it via cc and it didn't work

to be clear we don't send any emails to the customer in test mode
not 100% understanding the specific issue you're facing, could you elaborate?
late fog
not sure but I think so

What I'm trying to do: I want to handle invoice.upcoming in my code, so when I see it, we use Stripe::Invoice.send_invoice. I know the email won't be sent in test mode, but I should see invoice.sent in the events list.
However, Stripe::Invoice.send_invoice on;y works for subscriptions with manual collection methods. So I need to create a subscription with a manual collection method (I think email invoice to customer to pay manually is the only option?). However, when I do it and forward the time, invoice.upcoming does not fire for such a subscription.

it doesn't make sense to me what you're doing. You can't send the upcoming invoice, the invoice doesn't exist yet
tough vector
oh, so invoice.upcoming fires before the invoice is created. Right, I misunderstood the docs. Is there a way to send an invoice to an annual customer 30 days before it's due?
I know in settings we can set an invoice to be sent 10 days before it's due but we want to do it 30 days before it's to be paid.

the only way to really send it early is to reset the billing_cycle_anchor to "now"
but yeah for the send_invoice method you can only send those "please pay the invoice" emails in the intervals we have in the settings
tough vector
if I wanted to send it 10 days in advance, then I'd be able to use the send_invoice method?
is there a way to generate an invoice for a subscription earlier?

the only way it to reset the billing anchor unfortuantely
