From https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/object#invoice_object-billing_reason:

subscription_cycle indicates an invoice created by a subscription advancing into a new period. subscription_create indicates an invoice created due to creating a subscription. subscription_update indicates an invoice created due to updating a subscription.

#

For the first subscription invoice, the billing_reason should be subscription_create.

For the recurring invoice, the billing_reason should be subscription_cycle.

Well i don't really know why the subscription_update is called instead of subscription_create. My opinion the subscription is already created before so this is an update.

Can you share an example invoice.paid event ID (evt_xxx) with subscription_update set?

Thanks for sharing! It's indeed strange that the billing_reason was indicated as subscription_update for the initial subscription invoice. Can I suggest you to write in to us https://support.stripe.com/contact, so that we can follow up and check with the relevant team? It’ll be helpful if you can include the ID in your email.

I also see that Checkout Session is used to create a subscription. checkout.session.completed event can be used to determine whether the first invoice of a subscription has been made successfully since this event will only be sent for initial subscribing to the subscription

Okay but otherwise when the subscription_update is supposed to occur ? Yes but i'm not using it because invoice.paid make sure that the invoice have been paid so i can update the user whatever it's first or the following invoice. I suppose that checkout.session.completed confirm the payment the same like invoice.paid ? It could be the solution. Last question how can i simulate the ending period payment of the first month of subscription ? To jump to the last day and check what is called ?

subscription_update will be set of the invoice is created due to updating the subscription such as changing the prices

Yes.

Test clock can be used to advance the time to the next billing cycle: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/testing/test-clocks
