As in copy between two of the platform's connected accounts? Or copy between two Customer objects, both of which exist on the platform account itself?

The latter

Gotcha, checking in to whether that is possible.
Can you give me a bit more context around what you are trying to do here?
hoary delta
We have situations where we may want to re-create the Stripe customer / copy the payment method over during the process

Can you tell me more about those situations? If it is within the same account, usually the best way to go is to re-use the existing customer

Understood, I'm just asking if it's possible or not
lucid star
Still checking in to it, it isn't possible by default. Seeing if it can be enabled and if so what the restrictions might be

Thanks. As a separate use-case we also have separate situations where a specific customer of ours wants to pay for another customers subscription with their payment method but they don't necessarily want to add their payment method every time.

So it looks like that copying within an account can be possible though I am unclear on the criteria for enabling it
For the customer paying for another customer's subscription scenario, it might be easier to accomplish this with a layer of abstraction on your side. Like you can create the Subscription on the original Customer but then have metadata or data on your side that tells you that the subscription is actually for another customer in your system
