Hi
Between this is the recommended flow of creating a Subscription with paypal:
https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/paypal-subscription-mode

Are you following it when creating the Stripe Checkout Session ?

Yes, this is expected in the scenario as the initial 'attempt' to complete/pay the session fails before your user is redirected to PayPal to authenticate the payment

It's safe to ignore those invoice.payment_failed events that fire from hosted surfaces like Checkout as your user is on-session handling the payment and necessary authentication

So, for example, look at the billing_reason field on the invoice.* event. If it's subscription_create then it's like to safe to ignore

This happens with other payment methods too, like cards, etc

Thank you!
