Are you using Stripe's Subscription to charge their usage on regular basis? Or are you saving customer's payment method and charge to it when needed?

The latter. Ideally the flow would be a checkout session which creates both a payment intent and setup intent so we can immediately process the payment for the selected amount, and later charge the payment method for refills while the user is off session

Thanks for sharing! I'd recommend using Checkout Session with payment mode and "payment_intent_data[setup_future_usage]"=off_session. This will allow the payment method to be saved while charging to the customer.
