It would be nice to see a grace period feature for renewals to prevent subscriptions from becoming inactive due to PayPal/Stripe ACH payment processing delays.
What happens is the subscription auto-renews but the payment takes 3 days or more to process due to processing delays. The customer never knows about it and it causes unpleasant problems for them when my system automatically deactivates their service by taking the subscription status at face value.
