hi there!

How to maintain the max items count updated
can you clarify what you mean by this?

[reef folio]

Suppose User has this Subscription for 4-Apr to 4-may . 2* Product A + 3* Product B which 2+3 = 5 max total items
User downgrades and the 2* Product A + 2* Product B = 4, though for the current month its max items will be 5.
Now, for the next invoice month 5 may to 4-June , Max items should be 2* Product A + 2* Product B = 4.

You should be able to update this in your database each time you get an invoice.paid event for each subscription's montly invoice

[reef folio]

what if the user is not paying immediately or card is inactive

[acoustic quiver]

So you want it updated just when the next month's invoice is created?

You can do it on invoice.created instead if so

[reef folio]

invoice.created will be triggered when the user is charged immediately,
if total_item > max items for the month then return create_invoice_immediately proration is applied and invoice will be created

Is there any event triggered when the new month start for exmple, current subscription is 4 Apr to 4 May, next will start from 5 May to 5 June

[acoustic quiver]

Yeah see: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/webhooks

invoice.created and customer.subscription.updated both are generated on subscription cycle

[reef folio]

This events are triggered due to multiple actions , can't identify the source of the triggere.

[acoustic quiver]

If you use customer.subscription.updated you can. You can examine the current_period_start field: https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/object#subscription_object-current_period_start. And if that's different than what's shown in the event object's previous_attributes: https://docs.stripe.com/api/events/object#event_object-data-previous_attributes you know that it's due to subscription cycle

[reef folio]

How to check this in a single request? I am not getting the idea.

[acoustic quiver]

You check it on your webhook endpoint

When you get customer.subscription.updated events sent to your endpoint, check the current_period_start field. If that field shows a different value in the event object's previous_attributes field, you know that the subscription has cycled and you're onto the next month

[reef folio]

For this event id - evt_1P9nElGVCe8mF8QWeKI0uES7, In event object's previous_attributes field there is no current_period_start.

[acoustic quiver]

That means the event wasn't due to subscription cycling

That event was created as a result of this request: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_o0ESvMfhmrwcz5

[reef folio]

Okay

[acoustic quiver]

Not the subscription cycling

That's the whole point

If you don't have current_period_start in previous attributes, you know it didn't change

[reef folio]

Okay, got it.
