hi there!

#

Is there a better way to know when a transaction changes state?
what do you mean by "transaction"? PaymentIntent?

#

oh, you are talking about BalanceTransactions?

#

yes sorry balance transactions https://docs.stripe.com/api/balance_transactions/object#balance_transaction_object-status

The Balance Transaction object | Stripe API Reference

Complete reference documentation for the Stripe API. Includes code snippets and examples for our Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and .NET libraries.

#

The problem with out current implementation is we're querying too much data too often and we're hitting rate limits from stripe. So we need a better way to pull in transactions.

#

why don't you use availble_on, to know when the BalanceTransaction becomes available? https://docs.stripe.com/api/balance_transactions/object#balance_transaction_object-available_on

#

then you no longer need to list BalanceTransaction. You can just listent to, for example, the payment_intent.succeeded webhook event, retrive the associated BalanceTrasaction, and store somewhere in your database when it will become available.
