AutoBill Status and Entitlement Definitions
An AutoBill provides two pieces of Status explanation. The Billing Status field indicates the status of the AutoBill itself. A second field, Entitlement(s) Active indicates the status of customer entitlements associated with the AutoBill.
The following table lists possible status values for the AutoBill Billing Status.
| Value | Explanation |
| Active | The AutoBill is actively granting entitled service and billing in accordance with the assigned Billing Plan and associated AutoBill Items. |
| Bogus AutoBill Status | For internal use or test purposes. |
| Canceled | The AutoBill is no longer actively granting service. It has been canceled due to user, merchant, or system action—for example, the customer has opted out of recurring billing or canceled the service; you have called cancel on the AutoBillobject or stopAutoBilling on the Account object; or if a chargeback is received against a transaction generated by the AutoBill object. Canceled is a terminal and permanent status. The Billing condition of this AutoBill is clarified by the current Billing State. Note that the customer who owns the AutoBill object is entitled until the AutoBill’s end-date. |
| Deleted | The AutoBill was administratively removed—the content of this status can only be displayed in custom and specialty reports. |
| Dryrun | The AutoBill was temporarily created in service of a dry run—it will not be available beyond the duration of the dry run. |
| Expired | The AutoBill is no longer actively granting service—its fixed or non-recurring plan has ended and no further billing is scheduled or possible. |
| Legacy Suspended | This status is used in limited scenarios for legacy AutoBills that ended with a Hard Fail status but which did not otherwise meet the conditions of the new status values. |
| Pending Activation | The AutoBill has been fully created, has a start date that is in the future, and has not yet granted entitled service and is not yet billing. The AutoBill start date can still be changed. |
| Pending Cancel | The AutoBill is Active but scheduled for cancellation. The AutoBill will leave active service at the current end date. |
| Processing | The AutoBill is newly created and still being administratively defined. It is not currently providing entitled service and is not yet billing. Typically this status will be Pending Activation: the AutoBill has been completely created but has a future start date. The AutoBill is not yet granting entitled service and is not yet billing. The AutoBill start date can still be changed. |
| Unknown | For internal use or test purposes. |
| Upgraded | A terminal status given to an older version of an AutoBill that has been explicitly transitioned using the AutoBill.upgrade() API method. |
