this is the subscription request

{
  "payment_behavior": "error_if_incomplete",
  "customer": "cus_OPqkEQKhzuLsK4",
  "items": {
    "0": {
      "price": "price_1NJ42sA74xMpD4hDEHjUNcSy"
    }
  },
  "expand": {
    "0": "latest_invoice"
  }
}

Yeah looks like that's the good card to test. What do you see instead?

the response:

{
  "error": {
    "code": "subscription_payment_intent_requires_action",
    "message": "Payment for this subscription requires additional user action before it can be completed successfully. Payment can be completed using the PaymentIntent associated with `subscription.latest_invoice`. Additional information is available here: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/overview#requires-action",
    "request_log_url": "https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_eZCI4GlRWdrPMH?t=1691552211",
    "type": "card_error"
  }
}

I was able to get a successful response if I use off_session=True for subscription creation.
Does it seem reasonable to use this setting if the user will be on_session for the first subscription payment, but will be off_session for all invoices after the first?

off_session
Indicates if a customer is on or off-session while an invoice payment is attempted.
I think it's expected. Did it still require 3DS on your first payment?

[queen crater]

it did not require 3ds on the first payment

just curious: what is the use case for a subscription where off_session=False?

It seems unlikely for a user to be on session for recurring invoices of a subscription

Some business does have that scenario, but I agree they should be uncommon
