👋 happy to help
you need to listen to invoice.paid event and only then update your DB

Thanks, I already update my DB only on invoice.paid.
The core issue is that Klarna does not support payment_behavior=pending_if_incomplete.
When I call subscriptions->update() to upgrade the plan, Stripe immediately updates the subscription items, even though the Klarna payment is still pending. If the user closes the Klarna window, the invoice remains incomplete and gets canceled ~23h later.
During that time:
Stripe subscription = upgraded plan
My DB = original plan
Since pending_if_incomplete is not supported for Klarna, what is the correct pattern for subscription upgrades with asynchronous methods like Klarna?

I guess the easiest way would be to collect a Payment from the customer and apply that amount to their customer credit balance https://docs.stripe.com/invoicing/customer/balance
once you update the subscription it will generate an invoice that will be automatically paid using the customer credits
