Hi there, are you talking about this API https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/resume ?
tame spindle
Yes that one
It doesn't execute successfully for a subscription with paused collection.

From StripeGPT, it says that ResumeAsync() resumes a subscription with paused collection

What error did you get? Can you share the request ID (req_xxx) of the error? Here’s how you can find it: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request

Stripe.StripeException : You can only resume a subscription if it is paused.

Is ResumeAsync() used for resuming a subscription with paused collection?
If not, what is it used for? And how do we get to it to pause?
scarlet steeple
Thanks for sharing the request ID. Checking it now
Pausing payment collection and subscription status with paused are two different things: https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/object#subscription_object-status
The paused status is different from pausing collection, which still generates invoices and leaves the subscription’s status unchanged.
Resume Subscription API only works when the subscription status in paused. However, sub_1PgIt6F6S39kYAQZzi4Iy33l only pauses payment collection, but its status still in active.
If you wish to unpause the payment collection, Resume Subscription API shouldn't be used. I'd recommend checking the guide here to unpause the payment collection with Update Subscription API: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/pause-payment#unpausing

How do you pause a subscription though? The pause where ResumeAsync() executes successfully?
scarlet steeple
As mentioned in https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/object#subscription_object-status:
A subscription can only enter a paused status when a trial ends without a payment method.
It's not possible to manually update the subscription to paused status
tame spindle
I see. So, Paused state occurs only if the subscription doesn't get paid in time. Then to resume a paused collection, we just unset Pause_Collection property with Update subscription. Is it correct?
scarlet steeple
paused status only happens when the payment method is not set onto the subscription when the trial ends.

Yes, correct!
tame spindle
Thanks! That's all.
