hello! there's no such event, however, is there a reason why you're looking for such an event? can you share more?
young reef
Yeah. So I configured yearly subscription to create invoice when threshold is reached ("Reaching an unbilled pre-tax total of €50.00 will trigger a new invoice"). However, it never actually bills those invoices. They go into "pending invoice" queue and just wait there. Unless I CreateInvoice manually they will wait there for entire year until next billing cycle. I would like to trigger creation of those pending invoices as soon as threshold is reached.
dense sky
can you share the subscription id for me to take a closer look?
hmmmm, i think what you can listen for is the invoiceitem.created event : https://stripe.com/docs/api/events/types#event_types-invoiceitem.created
but it'd be ideal if you can share the subscription for me to take a look to confirm

Yeah, I saw "invoiceitem.created" but the problem with this event is that it is being sent twice and is thus not very reliable. It sends two events for each change - adds remaining balance, and takes away new balance.

gimme a while to think about this
i think the invoiceitem.created event would still work. The way I would go about it is to listen for that event, then run a cron job once a day to generate a invoice for any customers that have pending invoice items
young reef
Yeah. That's where I am headed right now. I was hoping to avoid cron jobs.
Thanks anyway.
On a side note, I think there's a bug with clocks and draft invoices.
in_1O2Os2GpJlO3RAQZ1ltNUdGd was supposed to be finalized and charged 10/24/23, 2:13 AM. My test clock is at "The clock time is October 25, 2023 at 2:20 AM GMT+2". Invoice is still in draft.
dense sky
sometimes you may need to advance the test clock a few more times (or a bit more), see if that works
young reef
That worked. Thanks.

@young reef the threshold usage : https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/object#subscription_object-items-data-billing_thresholds-usage_gte should only be applicable to usage_type=metered billing. And right now, you're using usage_type=licensed
If you switch to usage_type=metered, it should automatically bill / invoice upon reaching the threshold
