@magic wing this is overall expected, if you didn't create that Subscription you're not allowed to go and change it. You can look at the application property on the Subscription to confirm whether you own it or not
magic wing
I’m seeing a ca_XXX application value on a “good” subscription and undefined on a “bad” subscription
warm nexus
okay so that means you don't own that Subscription.
Do you have an example Subscription id? I can check if you owned it before at least
magic wing
can this happen if the subscription was originally created by my platform, but modified by the account owner?

Not sure, I don't think so but it's always possible
magic wing
on acct_1L2cq02ZpDPQmiFX
warm nexus
yeah you did not create that Subcription. It was done manually in the Dashboard by that connected account, not your platform
magic wing
this doesn’t make sense to me, because models in my database are connected to it, like my internal user model points to the Stripe Customer and my internal Subscription model points to that Stripe Subscription
and that shouldn’t happen if it was via a PaymentLink or whatnot... but I guess I can double check
warm nexus
yeah I can tell you with certainty, this came from a SubscriptionSchedule you didn't create/touch
magic wing
is there any other way to see how exactly the subscription was initialized, like from a PaymentLink or something else?
warm nexus
it was done manually in the Dashboard
magic wing
In general what’s the best way for me to tell that when I’m looking at a subscription in the stripe dashboard? Is it somewhere in the events?
warm nexus
it's not really easy so I'd recommend just not trying honestly
magic wing
That would definitely be a feature request from me then ;P
FWIW, Stripe Standard accounts are nice that the account owners can see more info, but they’re dangerous because they can go wild with payment links and other dashboard actions that lead to things not being handled properly on the platform—such as this error
warm nexus
yeah that's the whole point of Standard, to give them full access to a Stripe account to manage their business really
magic wing
Yeah, FWIW Express has too many limitations (e.g., has to be destination charges otherwise various things don’t really work, like the hosted checkout)—IDK if this has changed?
warm nexus
hasn't changed. Destination Charges is the best way to integrate Connect honestly.
magic wing
ok, thx for your help! It’d still be nice to see in the dashboard how things were created!
