Hello! Yes, if you have a Customer with a card attached as their default for Invoices, and they have a Subscription in a trial period, at the end of the trial period we'll attempt to charge the card. See here for details: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/overview#subscription-lifecycle

#

The property you linked to is only used when the Customer doesn't have a payment method that can be used to pay for the Subscription.

is there anyway to make it so the trial end behavior does not result in automatic billing without the user specifying a card?

Sorry, not sure I fully understand your question. Are you asking, in the scenario where a Customer has a card on file and they have a Subscription in trial, how to prevent the Subscription from charging them at the end of the trial?

correct

You can cancel the Subscription. Or you could extend the trial period. Or you could make sure/update the Subscription to a zero cost Price.

that's less than ideal. makes for confusing trial metrics
