In the example you gave, how would stripe billing solve that? This seems like you'd need some kind of manual interaction regardless?

For all the end cases, you manually handle them until they happen with enough frequency to require automation. A simple recurring billing system is absolutely fine for most businesses, and as you scale you can add more bells and whistles to it.

I think you're right in this case. I haven't looked at the problem in about 10-15 years (before Stripe had recurring). I remember there being a ton of end cases I had to deal with. We ended up going with Recurly due to it.
