Can you share the Invoice that you create in test mode so that I can compare?

sure

one sec please

This invoice was created with no items.
Then I added 1 item and paid the invoice.

The invoices are in different accounts also.
The test mode invoice has been created in account A.
I tried to create the live mode invoice in account B.

Yeah you're seeing this difference in behavior because these two accounts are on different API version and have different defaults - in this case, your livemode request failed because it's on an older API version where the default value for pending_invoice_items_behavior still uses include_and_require and will fail if the customer has no line items (https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/create#create_invoice-pending_invoice_items_behavior)

You need to explicitly pass in pending_invoice_items_behavior: exclude on your live mode request to get the same behavior as your test mode request
