You should use subscription[metadata] parameter if you want to persist the fields to the Subscription object. Otherwise they're not

@graceful mural just to make sure I 100% understand this, let me ask a question. So if we pass custom fields using metadata they will remain attached subscription as long as subscription exists. But if we pass custom data fields using custom_fields that data will not remain attached to subscription and will be deleted over time?

[graceful mural]

Correct, custom_fields are not set on any underlying objects generated by Checkout. They only exist on the Checkout Session object

subscription_data[metadata] will be set here indefinitely until you unset it: https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/object#subscription_object-metadata

This is outlined here: https://docs.stripe.com/metadata#set-indirectly
