Resume collection

DELETE

/v1/subscriptions/{id}/pause-collection

const url = 'http://localhost:8080/v1/subscriptions/example/pause-collection';
const options = {method: 'DELETE', headers: {Authorization: 'Bearer <token>'}};

try {
  const response = await fetch(url, options);
  const data = await response.json();
  console.log(data);
} catch (error) {
  console.error(error);
}

curl --request DELETE \
  --url http://localhost:8080/v1/subscriptions/example/pause-collection \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'

Ends a collection pause. The period that is running bills normally; a period that ended during the pause keeps its draft invoice. Sends the subscription.collection_resumed webhook event. If the pause had already ended (its resumes_at has passed), the event says what ended it: triggered_by is payment or schedule, not operator. Calling it on a subscription that is not paused returns the subscription unchanged and sends no event.

Plan the item moves to at pending_plan_effective_at. Absent when no change is scheduled.

When the subscription was canceled. Absent until then.

string format: date-time

cancel_at

A scheduled cancel time, if one is set.

string format: date-time

cancel_at_period_end

required

True when the subscription cancels at the end of the current period.

boolean

cancel_effective_at

When a scheduled cancel takes effect. Absent when no cancel is scheduled.

string format: date-time

pause_collection

Present on a subscription while collection is paused. New invoices are still created, but stay drafts and are not charged.

object

behavior

required

string

Allowed values: keep_as_draft

resumes_at

When collection resumes. Absent when the pause lasts until it is cleared. On a pause set by dunning, it is when Hardcount recorded the payment of the invoice the pause was set for.

string format: date-time

set_by

required

Who paused collection. operator: you, through the API or the dashboard; the pause lasts until you resume it or until resumes_at. dunning: a dunning policy’s pause final action. A dunning pause lifts by itself once the invoice whose dunning set it is paid, even if another invoice is still owed. Periods that ended during the pause keep their draft invoices.

string

Allowed values: operator dunning

billing_thresholds

Limits that make Hardcount invoice before the period ends. A threshold invoice bills the period’s usage so far, and no base fee. The period keeps its dates, the base fee is billed as it would be with no threshold, and the period’s next invoice bills the rest of the usage.

object

amount_gte

Usage threshold in cents, compared with the period’s usage so far (the base fee is not counted). Absent when not set.

integer format: int64

item_thresholds

required

Array<object>

object

subscription_item_id

string

usage_gte

required

Usage quantity threshold, as a decimal string.

string

current_billing_period_start

string format: date-time

current_billing_period_end

End of the current period (exclusive).

string format: date-time

current_billing_period_display

The current period as text, with the last day included, in the tenant’s billing time zone.

string

next_billing_at

string format: date-time

billing_anchor_day

Day of the month the subscription bills on (1-31). Absent for calendar-monthly subscriptions.

integer

test_clock_id

string

billing_failure

Present on a subscription while the billing run is failing on the work that subscription has due now (a period close, or a scheduled mid-period cancel). Absent otherwise: a subscription that bills cleanly, or whose due work changed, carries no billing_failure.

After each failed attempt the billing run waits before the next one: 15 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, 12 hours, then 24 hours three times. The eighth failure parks the subscription (parked: true, no next_attempt_at). A parked subscription is not attempted again until POST /v1/subscriptions/{id}/retry-billing is called.

Never set on a subscription attached to a test clock.

object

attempts

required

Failed attempts on the work that is due now. At least 1.

integer

max_attempts

required

The attempt at which the subscription parks (8).

integer

last_error

required

Why the latest attempt failed: a sentence an operator can act on, or a generic line carrying the subscription id as the reference to search the server log for. Never raw error text.

string

failed_at

required

When the latest attempt failed.

string format: date-time

next_attempt_at

The billing run does not attempt the subscription before this instant. The attempt happens on the first run at or after it, so on an hourly schedule it can be up to an hour later. Absent when parked.

string format: date-time

parked

required

True when automatic attempts have stopped.

boolean

created_at

required

string format: date-time

updated_at

    "behavior": "keep_as_draft",
    "set_by": "operator"
  }
}

404

Subscription not found.

application/json

object

error

object

type

One of invalid_request_error, authentication_error, rate_limit_error or api_error. Every error the API answers has this shape, including an unknown path (404, code route_not_found) and a method the path does not take (405, code method_not_allowed, with an Allow header). The few exceptions are listed in docs/api-surface.md.

string

code

string

message

string

request_id

string

param

The request field the error is about. Sent only when the error names one. A request body may hold only the fields its operation lists, spelled and cased as listed: any other field, or one the server sets (such as id), is refused with 422 and param naming it. An operation with no request body lists no fields: send no body, {} or null. The Stripe and Postmark webhooks and the LiteLLM callback take their sender’s body as it comes.

string

Example

{
  "error": {
    "type": "invalid_request_error"
  }
}

409

Code unbilled_period: a billing period ended and could not be invoiced; retry billing first.
