Hi 👋 I'm not sure what delay you're referring to. Are you seeing that auto_advance is being set to true on the Invoices you create?
https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/object#invoice_object-auto_advance
If not, and you want the Invoice to automatically advance through its lifecycle, you'll want to add that parameter to your Invoice creation request.
Yeah, looks like auto_advance is false for that Invoice.

"Invoice finalization grace period" in the settings https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/settings/billing/invoice
The doc here implies that this is automatically set to true. https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/create?lang=node

I don't see any mention of what default behavior for that field is there.
But looking at how the sample code doesn't provide that value, and then the example response has it set to false, I'm getting the impression the default value for that field is false.

auto_advance
boolean
Controls whether Stripe performs automatic collection of the invoice. If false, the invoice’s state doesn’t automatically advance without an explicit action.
When I read "if false", it seems like I need to set it to false to turn it off, implying it is on by default.
I'm not trying to be argumentative, just pointing out how I read the docs and how it could also trip up others.
It does look like that resolved my issue. Thanks!

Totally appreciate the feedback! I was curious what was giving you that impression to see if there are changes we can make to our docs to make that more intuitive, thank you for sharing that.
