XF 2.1 Purchased upgrades page for recurring shows expire instead of renew

[Mr Lucky]

I have a test user Stripe recurring upgrade which is paid daily. So as it is recurroing it will not expire until the user cancels it.

However when the user looks at their Purchased upgrades, there is a notice there saying it expires tomorrow. Surely that is wrong because it won't expire tomorrow it will renew tomorrow.

(I haven't called this a bug because most of my bug reports aren't bugs, but often my trouble shooting questions get moved to bugs!)

It expires if it is canceled or not renewed?

Most recurring subscriptions aren't one day... the "expires" to me means that's the date, on or before, when I need to either cancel the recurring subscription or allow it to auto-charge my account to continue for another subscription period.

 

[Mr Lucky]

Most recurring subscriptions aren't one day...

No they aren't I either have monthly or annual, I did that so I can test it it.

Surely that is wrong because it won't expire tomorrow it will renew tomorrow.

I wouldn't say wrong, because it does indeed expire tomorrow.
But, I do agree. xF should show that it will also attempt to automatically renew it.

XF is not involved with recurring subscriptions.

It is controlled by the payment provider.

Understood, my bad phrasing. For display purposes, xF knows that it's recurring, and that the payment provider hasn't previously sent a cancellation callback.

But xF knows that it's recurring, and that the payment provider hasn't previously sent a cancellation callback.

XF doesn't know it's recurring.

All it knows is it hasn't been cancelled.

They are not the same thing.

xf_user_upgrade_active.extra shows whether the upgrade is recurring or not.

That still doesn't mean it will definitely renew.

That still doesn't mean it will definitely renew.

But for the purpose of displaying that it's intended for renewal, as per OP point, it's a very good indication.
