Hello,

We are facing an issue with our customers on in-app purchasing.

One of our customers tried to get a yearly subscription on 23rd May 2024 but could not succeed due to a billing error. But on 19th June 2024, his subscription was purchased automatically for 1 year, and the package expiry date shows 19th June 2025.

So why did Apple charge to customer after 1 month without any intimation?

Can anybody help here?

Thanks

Quoting from the article "If the customer's billing is invalid, the renewal fails and the user's subscription enters a billing retry state, where the App Store attempts to collect payment for up to 60 days."
