Hi 👋 taking a closer look, but if that's the first Invoice for a Subscription then that is expected to finalize immediately.

Hmm... was this always how it worked? bc I do remember having the delay when I implemented it initially
frigid fulcrum
It's how it has always worked.
https://docs.stripe.com/billing/invoices/subscription#new-subscription-invoices
Do you have an example of where you saw the delay before? I can look at what may have been different between the associated requests.
The Invoices generated for Subscription renewals will wait to finalize, but the first Invoice for a Subscription finalizes immediately.
rich linden
why is that, what's the logic?
Thanks
frigid fulcrum
The payment for the first Invoice happens immediately when you create the Subscription, so the first Invoice has to finalize immediately.
rich linden
So the docs i referenced in my first question above refers only to the subsequent charges of a subscription?
