subscription.refunded

Dispatch site not yet wired. Subscribe an endpoint now and deliveries will land automatically once the firing site ships.

When this fires

A subscription-level refund settles. The subscription may or may not be terminated depending on provider behaviour and the refund's cause.

Required ability

project-subscription:view-any — token must carry this at mint time to subscribe an endpoint to this event.

Caveats

DEFERRED — the dispatch site is not wired yet. Subscriptions taken now stay valid once it ships.
A subscription may continue to be active after a refund unless the provider's refund flow also cancels the underlying subscription.
For per-payment refunds (no subscription mutation), see payment.refunded.

payment.refunded — payment-level analogue (also deferred).
subscription.cancelled — often paired in practice.
