I'd recommend checking the Subscription Webhook guides for the events to use for different scenarios: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/webhooks

I am wondering if this is the best way to go for listening for events;

• customer.subscription.created for new subscriptions
• customer.subscription.updated for if they upgrade or downgrade
• invoice.payment_succeeded - I was thinking we would use this to listen for normal renewals at the end of each billing period but this event fires on all payments

I have but I am still confused. Does customer.subscription.updated fire on normal renewals? So if I had a standard plan, and it renews at the end of the month, will that webhook be sent again?

• customer.subscription.created event is for newly created subscription, but it doesn't mean that the payment has been made. invoice.paid event should be tracked as well.
• customer.subscription.updated event is recommended to be used for upgrading and downgrading. This event will also be sent for every cycle renewal. I'd recommend using data.previous_attributes in the event to check whether this is a cycle renewal or upgrading/downgrading: https://docs.stripe.com/api/events/object#event_object-data-previous_attributes
• invoice.paid event is recommended for renewal: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/webhooks#active-subscriptions
