INVOICE_PERIOD_CLAIM_FAILED

500api_error

The billing period could not be claimed.

Cause

Invoice generation reserves (client, period) with a conditional put before it talks to Stripe. That write failed.

How to fix it

Retry. The claim is taken before any billable Stripe object exists, so a failure here cannot have charged anyone.
