# Invoices and Refunds
The developer billing surfaces expose both the live current-period usage estimate and issued developer invoice records from the billing backend.
## Invoice Access
- Review the active period usage estimate before the billing window closes.
- Track the settled developer invoice record for each billed period from the billing history view.
- Open hosted invoices for settled developer usage periods when the workspace already has a Stripe customer on file.
- Immediate self-serve plan changes now attempt to issue a hosted Stripe invoice at mutation time when a provider customer is already attached.
- The developer dashboard and pricing page now surface payment recovery banners when a workspace is past_due or still has collectible open invoices.
- Billing views now distinguish delinquent subscription recovery from low-credit wallet readiness, so operators can see whether production health is blocked by payment failure or by credit thresholds.
- Once a workspace is past_due, the billing backend now reports whether the production grace window is still active or has already expired.
- If a user completed a guest subscription checkout before signing in, the developer app now attempts to claim that billing state automatically on the next verified login for the same email.
- The pricing surface now returns to the same page with checkout status after hosted plan checkout completes or is canceled.
## Credits and Wallet
- Developer credit top-ups land in the separate developer wallet.
- Credits are applied to the active period before the settled amount due is finalized.
- Monthly budget caps and minimum production credit can pause live runtime traffic until the wallet is healthy again.
## Refund Workflow
Refund requests are processed based on plan terms and payment processor timelines.
