Answer 1

customer.subscription.updated is triggered when current_period_start and current_period_end change. These represent the billing period.

When invoice.payment_succeeded happens, it's there that you must update the information on your side (e.g.: subscription period): https://stripe.com/docs/subscriptions/guide#step-3-sync-with-your-site
