# Adds support for previewing invoices before pausing a subscription

## What’s new

You can now preview how pausing a subscription affects billing and subscription state. Include the [subscription_details.pause](https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/create_preview.md?api-version=2026-06-24.preview#create_invoice-subscription_details-pause) hash when [creating a preview invoice](https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/create_preview.md?api-version=2026-06-24.preview) to get back a preview invoice and the projected subscription state after the pause, without modifying the actual subscription. To receive a preview invoice:

- [invoicing_behavior](https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/create_preview.md?api-version=2026-06-24.preview#create_invoice-subscription_details-pause-invoicing_behavior) must be `invoice`. `pending_invoice_item` returns a 404 error.
- [bill_for](https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/create_preview.md?api-version=2026-06-24.preview#create_invoice-subscription_details-pause-bill_for) must produce billable amounts for unused licensed time or outstanding metered usage. If pausing would not create debits or credits, the endpoint returns a 404 error.

## Impact

You can now show customers or internal teams an accurate preview invoice before pausing. This helps reduce unexpected billing changes for your customers. See [Preview the invoice before pausing](https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/pause.md#preview-the-invoice-before-pausing) for implementation details.
