Error message

Subscription existing billing period has ended, so it cannot be continued.

Common causes

• You're trying to pause a subscription using the continue_existing_billing_period option, but passing a resume date that's after the existing billing period end date.
• You're trying to resume a subscription immediately using the continue_existing_billing_period option, but the existing billing period has ended.
• You're trying to resume a subscription on a chosen date using the continue_existing_billing_period option, but the chosen date is after the existing billing period end.

Troubleshooting

• To use continue_existing_billing_period, check the current_billing_period against the subscription to determine when the billing period starts and ends.
• Pause or resume a subscription using the start_new_billing_period option instead. On resume, Paddle starts a new billing period and charges immediately.
