so which behavior should be expected?
sub_1S6ZEJAzVYAH3rvF7fh6sYu8
in_1S6ZEJAzVYAH3rvFaHTL5Tll

Hi there,
let me take a look...
rocky elk
It seems like there is a known limitation for test clocks that is (still) not called out in the documentation. Could you advance the time on the test clock again for another hour?
river pulsar
I can, but that would finalize the invoice due to auto_advance=True on the invoice.
Are you saying that if I generated a subscription without a test clock, it would finalize the created subscription invoice immediately?
I created sub_1S6ZerAzVYAH3rvFFgEMUPXO without a test clock, and the invoice is still draft instead of open.
rocky elk
But the Invoice needs to be finalized in order to have the state open
river pulsar
right
my point is this doc states when the subscription is created, the invoice is finalized immediately: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/overview#handle-the-invoice
When you create a subscription, Stripe automatically creates an invoice with the status open.
But, that's not the behavior I'm seeing. Is this doc wrong or is something wrong with the subscriptions API?
rocky elk
No, that is the doc that is misleading. I will give that feedback to the docs team.
river pulsar
ok, so basically all subscription creations follow the invoice auto_advance logic of being draft for the first hour?
rocky elk
That is the expected behavior. YEs.
