past_due
Still present, overdue
The subscription remains in Stripe, but the latest invoice shows collection has not caught up.
Stripe past-due subscription audit
Find past-due Stripe subscriptions before MRR turns into noise.
A subscription can still exist in Stripe while billing has stopped, an invoice sits open, or the billing period has gone stale. LeakCheck ranks those subscriptions so a founder can decide whether to collect, repair, or cancel.
Read-only Stripe Connect or Stripe JSON export. No collection attempts, no subscription edits, no invoice changes, and no paid decision before the free teaser.

Manual check
What to inspect before you trust subscription MRR.
Past-due subscriptions sit between finance, support, and product. The risk is not only a failed charge. It is the subscription that still looks alive while collection, cancellation, or repair has stalled.
01
Status
Start with subscriptions marked past_due, unpaid, incomplete, or incomplete_expired.
02
Latest invoice
Check the latest invoice status, amount remaining, due date, and whether it is still collectible.
03
Cycle value
Compare the open invoice with the recurring subscription items to estimate exposure.
04
Stale active records
Look for active subscriptions with stale billing periods or stale open invoices that still need action.
05
Customer context
Check whether the same buyer also has failed charges, duplicate records, or discount issues.
06
Owner decision
Decide whether to repair payment collection, recover the invoice, cancel the subscription, or leave it alone.
Subscription patterns
Past-due subscriptions are not all the same problem.
LeakCheck separates the billing state, invoice evidence, and estimated exposure so the next step fits the actual Stripe record.
unpaid
High-risk billing state
Unpaid subscriptions can carry higher severity because the account may look active while payment has stopped.
stale
Active but stale
An active subscription can still be suspicious when its billing period or collectible invoice is too old.
invoice
Open amount remaining
The latest invoice amount remaining gives a concrete review number before broader MRR cleanup.
customer
Related customer issues
Duplicate customers and failed charges can explain why the subscription is stuck.
