Hi! My understanding is that:
- you listen to the invoice.created event for a renewal
- you run a balance check on the subscriber
- if the subscriber doesn't have sufficient funds, you update the subscription's billing cycle anchor.

im asking if there is any amount of risk given the race condition / is there something more common done by devs when doing stuff like this that you have seen
it seems slight sketchy because of the automatic collection

By failed do you mean it gets cancelled? Because there are other options on what should happen to the subscription if all retries for a payment fail. You can go to the Billing Dashboard settings: https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/billing/automatic and scroll down to Manage failed payments for subscriptions.
Additionally, you can't change the billing cycle anchor to a later date. You can only pass now or unchanged: https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-billing_cycle_anchor

Can I configure the retries to happen only for renewals?
