This is my current approach

Hi there 👋 this isn't possible, Invoices are generated when the billing period changes. There isn't currently a way to separate those two actions, but I'll capture your feedback that this is something you'd be interested in seeing added in the future.

Is there a way to add something like a grace period, so the subscription is not immediately cancelled on a failed payment?

[trail peak]

Yes, you can control your payment retry schedule, and the behavior of Subscriptions that aren't successfully paid by one of those retries, in your dashboard here:
https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/billing/automatic
In the Prevent failed payments section

Thanks! I'll try that.
