Hey! Yep, deleted is not a supported parameter for pending updates: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/pending-updates-reference

But is it possible to understand why it's not possible to Delete items in such cases ? And what the difference between setting quantity to 0 and deleting them is ?

#

I'm not sure of the 'why' to be honest, it's just not possible. There may be a workaround however. Can you share the payload for your update call now

Does the API process subscriptions differently if they don't have a product specified vs. having a 0 quantity product as an item part of the subscription ?

sour swift Mar 14, 2022, 11:19 AM

#

Well you can't have a subscription without an iteam/product

#

My recommendation is to set quantity: 0 for the item you want to delete, and then following the successful 'pending update' you can then delete the item

#

As long as PaymentBehavior is set to Pending, how can I delete the item ?

sour swift Mar 14, 2022, 11:25 AM

#

You'd use this endpoint: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscription_items/delete

Stripe API reference – Delete a subscription item – curl

Complete reference documentation for the Stripe API. Includes code snippets and examples for our Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and .NET libraries.

#

The deletion limitation only applies to updates with pending_if_incomplete
