Hi there! I think what you did is what is mostly recommended and you would just void the invoices while the Subscription is paused. https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/pause talks about the different options for handling these invoices.

Pause payment collection

Learn how to pause payment collection on subscriptions.

Thanks. It still seems odd that Stripe sent a webhook to increase the subscription end date for a paused subscription & uncollectable invoice. Am I missing something or is this a bug? The online doc's say "Stripe won’t send any upcoming invoice emails or webhooks for these invoices and the subscription’s status remains unchanged."

Can you provide the Sub ID so I can take a look at that?

Thanks, give me a moment to look.

Okay yeah so I think the idea is that no Webhooks will be sent for invoices specifically, but with a paused Subscription the billing_cycle will still reset when the Subscription hits the renewal date so that change of current period and latest_invoice causes the customer.subscription.updated event to fire. This event is not ignored by the pause.

#

It sounds like you want to add some code to your Webhook handler to basically ignore those customer.subscription.updated events when pause_collection is not null.

OK. Thanks. Will do. You may also want to update your doc with this detail still there are still webhooks coming in for it.
