Values of `sub_status` in subscription responses and callbacks. How a subscription moves between them: [Subscriptions overview](/payments/subscriptions).

| ID | Status | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| `1` | Initial | Waiting for the buyer to pay. Nothing has been charged. |
| `2` | Active | A card is attached and charges run on schedule. With a `buyer_key` or a future `sub_start_date`, nothing may have been charged yet. |
| `3` | Paused | No charges. Iterations whose date passes are skipped and never charged. |
| `4` | Failed | The card check failed when the buyer paid. The subscription isn't canceled and isn't retried; the buyer can pay again with [Pay a subscription](/payments/subscriptions/post-generate-subscription-2). |
| `5` | Canceled | Canceled by the seller, or automatically after the last failed charge attempt. |
| `6` | Completed | All iterations were charged or skipped. |
| `7` | Failed, retry pending | A scheduled charge failed. PayMe retries it the next day, up to 7 attempts in total.  |
