Hi, just to confirm that we are on the same page. Are you asking how you'd show automatic retries on your UI?

[meager delta]

I'd like to show this whole timeline of events

created
finalized
failed
Failed again
Will try again

Or in the happy path case:

[sterile plume]

I see, you can look at the invoice and with retries, it would send the timeline for when the next attempt will be made: https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/object#invoice_object-next_payment_attempt

Is that what you're looking for?

[meager delta]

what about this history of retries?

[sterile plume]

I think you could list, https://stripe.com/docs/api/events/list this https://stripe.com/docs/api/events/types#event_types-charge.failed event.

[meager delta]

that api would give me all failed charges, is there a way to only filter for events for just one in_id ?

[sterile plume]

There is not I'm afraid, you'd need to swift through the response on your end to filter it by the invoice id

[meager delta]

got it -- any insight into how Stripe is doing this efficiently?

[sterile plume]

What do you mean by this?

[meager delta]

Like the Stripe dashboard does this really well, surely the engineers at stripe are building this timeline in an efficient way (not querying ALL events). How are they doing it?
