For #1, Why remove subscription level period? How to get a subscription current period end in this billing cycle?
quiet mauve
because in the new subscription mode flexible we will allow different durations and billing cycles on the same subscription
How to get a subscription current period end in this billing cycle?
instead you can see on a per subscription item billing cycle
somber heath
I understand. Isn't there a simpler way? This is difficult to use since our subscriptions typically only have one item.
quiet mauve
then you know that the subscription's first item's billing cycle is the billing cycle of the whole subscription

For #2, Under what circumstances will an invoice payment be generated?
robust pecan
Whenever a payment is due, e.g. amount > 0
The invoice will still generate a Payment Intent when necessary, there's just no direct property that references it now as an invoice can have multiple payments
somber heath
invoice finalized and generate payment intent?
robust pecan
You'd look in the payments property instead: https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/object?api-version=2025-03-31.basil#invoice_object-payments
somber heath
I roughly understand now.
I remember the Charge object was created until paymen intent was confirmed. see: https://docs.stripe.com/payments-api/tour#:~:text=In most cases,to move money.
So, the invoice payment needs follow the rule?
robust pecan
Yes the same principles appy, none of that has changes. Just the shape of the API structure where these objects reference each other
