Status Code400

Common causes

  • You're trying to make an update to a subscription that generates credits, but a new customer entity has been linked to the subscription since the last renewal. This would mean creating a credit against a transaction for a customer with credit from a another customer, which isn't permitted.

  • You're attempting to link a new customer to the subscription which is not permitted if there are pending credits belonging to the previous customer.

Solutions

  • Consider using a proration billing mode that won't create credits.

  • Try this change again after the next renewal.
