hi, it's the exact time of day as the billing_cycle_anchor , so yes basically it's the same time of day as when the initial call to create the Subscription succeeded
hollow bone
or sorry, not the invoice, but the next automatic payment
so if a subscription is made at 13:08, then the next month's payment made and its webhook sent to us will be around the same time-ish?
ruby ledge
yep
hollow bone
OK thank you!
ruby ledge
no worries

@ruby ledge I just advanced time with a test clock to the next month, but no new payment was made it seems, though the billing cycle did jump to the month after
so I had a customer with a subscription made on 13 oct 13:18, next invoice date was 13 nov, I changed the test clock to 13 nov 13:18, no new payments made but the next invoice date is now 13 december
ruby ledge
what is the subscription ID sub_xxx where that happened?
hollow bone
sub_1O0jKxLjYDcRA6KWN2RhtCDO
ruby ledge
but do try advancing it a few minutes more
hollow bone
even if the next invoice date was updated?
(if I do it much later, let's say 17:00 - it would not skip a payment I imagine but as it's "late" it would still send it?)
ruby ledge
ok looking at the subscription, this is all normal
hollow bone
A draft invoice was made: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/invoices/in_1O0jMvLjYDcRA6KW6U8JIE47
ruby ledge
an Invoice was created , this one https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/invoices/in_1O0jMvLjYDcRA6KW6U8JIE47 .
There's no payment yet because recurring invoices wait an hour before being charged
hollow bone
I see so push the time ahead an hour?

https://stripe.com/docs/billing/invoices/subscription#subscription-renewal
When subscriptions renew, Stripe:
Creates an invoice.
Leaves the invoice in a draft state for about an hour.
Attempts to finalize and pay the invoice with the default payment method.
Changes the invoice status to paid if payment succeeds.

I see so push the time ahead an hour?
if you specifically want to test the payment of the Invoice, yep
hollow bone
working!
ruby ledge
we wait an hour here so you can modify the draft invoice with any additions etc
hollow bone
this test clock stuff is a dream btw
ruby ledge
yes, it's great, thanks for the feedback
