We are verifying Google subscriptions on backend using requests to: https://developers.google.com/android-publisher/api-ref/rest/v3/purchases.subscriptions?hl=en we have also integrated with server notifications, so that we have updated data on all subscriptions.
I started to compare numbers displayed on play.google.com/console to what we have in our app and those are nowhere close. On our backend we see 30% more subscriptions that are marked as active then on Play Console.
- On Play console I have restricted Subscription data chart to only single day and got number of subscriptions that were active at least for one day within given time window (so 1 day).
- On our backend I got all subscriptions that had startTimeMillis before (or equal) given day and expiryTimeMillis after (or equal)
The difference was around 30% (Play console shows lower numbers). For all subscriptions I got updated data from purchase.subscriptions api (linked at the top) and confirmed that all of them should be active:
- paymentState=1
- checked date is between start/end date for subscription
According to other stackoverflow answers like: How to verify purchase for android app in server side (google play in app billing v3)
checking expire date should be enough to verify if subscription should be active or not. But Maybe I'm missing something? Or maybe Play Console is not showing what I think I see?
