subscription.past_due
Billing fails but grace period is active.
When this fires
A scheduled charge fails but the subscription remains within its grace window. The platform will continue to attempt collection.
Coverage is partial: only Stripe and Razorpay report the past-due transition back to Subscriby. Failed renewals on PayPal, Paystack, Skrill, CeyPay, and CoinPayments emit payment.failed without a matching subscription.past_due, so treat payment.failed as the reliable cross-provider signal.
Caveats
- Pairs with a
payment.failedevent for the underlying charge. - If retries succeed,
subscription.renewedfollows. If grace expires,subscription.unpaidfires instead.
Related events
payment.failed: paired payment event.subscription.unpaid: grace-window terminal state.
