hi there!
the invoice should be created at the beginning of each month. it's not what you see?
can you share a Subscription ID (sub_xxx) with this issue?

Hi,
I have active subscriptions, but some invoices stay in draft status instead of being charged. I’d like these invoices to be paid at the beginning of each subscription period (e.g. as soon as the period starts), and not left as drafts or charged later.
Am I missing something in:
Stripe Dashboard (Settings → Billing / Subscriptions),
or API parameters when creating or updating subscriptions/invoices?
What should I change so renewal invoices for active subscriptions are finalized and charged at the start of each billing period instead of remaining in draft? Any pointers would be very helpful.

devout quail

summmary: subs is active, invoice in draft status (still not paid)

there is a setting here to set when you want the invoice to finalize: https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/billing/invoices/general
and you could also use the API to call the /finalize endpoint just after the invoice is created, to finalize it immediately
