Hi

My testing with Play Store sandbox always cancels due to a billing error.  Sometimes at the first renewal and other times after 2 or 3.

Is this intended behaviour?

I see that other users are seeing this issue but with no resolution from RevenueCat.

Hi @Peter Rule,

Subscriptions in sandbox cancel automatically after a certain number of renewals (up to a maximum of 6 for Google Play Store - https://developer.android.com/google/play/billing/test#subs), so this sounds like expected behavior. Google’s docs aren’t super clear about this, but it sounds like this happens so that you can test cases such as when the user experiences a billing error. 


I also left a follow-up suggestion to that other thread you replied to, which may help determine whether this is just the behavior on Google’s end:

I have the same problem and replied to the other thread too. It’s clearly a revenuecat sandbox bug, google reports OK.

Having the same problem, it always cancels after the original subscription, then if I wait another 5 minutes it comes back, it definitely seems like a revenuecat issue
