Hi there, so your goal is to remove pending updates if the invoice attempts failed, correct?

Context: I'm resolving state management for the upgrade process in our app.
Bad Answer; I was under the (probably bad) assumption that once the invoice was marked uncollectable it would cancel the pending updates.

Realistic Answer: I am willing to remove it only if there isn't a better alternative.

Gotcha. Thanks for context. I'm looking as I don't recall off top of head best way to handle this. Can you share your subscription ID so I can also look at that as well?

#

Request req_DY9JiAXPlk1Fw8 seems to have triggered the invoice to become uncollectable. Is this a setting?

#

The invoice will change state based on your Subscription Settings

#

Those settings are in your Dashboard here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/billing/automatic

#

Got it!

#

That should help us avoid that situation. Is it still expected to resolve that pending update?

#

Still checking on that.

#

Great! Thank you so so much! 😄

Okay yeah so we discuss canceling or updating pending updates here: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/pending-updates#canceling-changing.

#

So you would void the invoice itself if you want to cancel it.

polar crescent Jul 6, 2022, 8:06 PM

#

Dumb question: why is it our problem to resolve the uncollectable status differently from void?

carmine bridge Jul 6, 2022, 8:07 PM

#

Sorry not exactly sure what you mean by that?

#

You can dictate that the invoice voids via your Subscription settings if you so desire

#

Wait no

#

That's wrong

#

Sorry, yeah you are right

#

It would go uncollectible and you would need to void yourself if you so desired.

I hate it when I'm right in this discord LOL

carmine bridge Jul 6, 2022, 8:08 PM

#

lol

#

The thing is, you can just leave the invoice uncollectible if you want to.

#

The pending_update will expire

polar crescent Jul 6, 2022, 8:09 PM

#

It leaves the user in a weird state. I guess my only resolution is a webhook to void the uncollectable invoice. :S

carmine bridge Jul 6, 2022, 8:10 PM

I do think that is the best thing to do here
