Hey there, do you have an invoice example for your scenario? If yes, you can share with me the invoice ID (in_xxxx)

Based on the provided details, if the customer wishes to remove some items on an already-issued invoice from the subscription, this is not possible by editing the subscription. You would need to first void the already issued invoice, and then create a new one-time invoice to bill the customer for the newly agreed amount.

OK, would I then have to create the invoice items for the new invoice?

Or is there a way to generate it for the subscription after the items have been updated

OK, would I then have to create the invoice items for the new invoice?
Yes, this is required. The one-time invoice **is not **linked to the existing subscription in Stripe's system. From the subscription perspective, the latest issued invoice (with the unwanted line item) will be voided only. The one-time invoice will not affect the subscription's state.

After the latest-issued subscription invoice is voided, the subscription's state would depend on the configuration on your subscription when it was first created, with the logic here: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/invoices/subscription#void-the-most-recent-invoice-of-a-subscription (this applies if the latest-issued invoice is not the first invoice)

so if it fails to pay, it will not make the subscription go into past due? how can we configure that to happen?

[main jolt]

Are you referring to the latest-issued invoice from the subscription? If yes, the subscription can go into Past Due if the latest invoice is unpaid, but this also depends on your subscription settings in the Dashboard [0] , under Manage failed payments for subscriptions
