Heya, I experience the same issue. But I see an update error on prisma, saying: 
Invalid `prisma.subscription.update()` invocation:

{
  where: {
    id: "SiGKftVY9a591QLakFP0IUkWPDNaygQK"
  },
  data: {
    plan: "basic",
    stripeSubscriptionId: "sub_1RGEcnPL1qjk3NmrqLLPgRDK",
    status: "active",
    periodStart: new Date("Invalid Date"),
                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    periodEnd: new Date("Invalid Date"),
    seats: 1
  }
}

}
Do you also see an error from your ORM or something? I also checked BA's code where they populate these fields (in packages/stripe/src/hooks.ts line 44): 
periodStart: new Date(subscription.current_period_start * 1000),
periodEnd: new Date(subscription.current_period_end * 1000),
periodStart: new Date(subscription.current_period_start * 1000),
periodEnd: new Date(subscription.current_period_end * 1000),
There they reference the fields current_period_end and current_period_start, but when I retrieve the subscription myself I cannot find these fields in the subscription object. In my stripe plugin I added an event hook to check the subscription myself like this: 
onEvent: async (event) => {
    switch (event.type) {
        case 'checkout.session.completed': {
            const subscriptionId = event.data.object.subscription
            const subscription = await stripeBackendClient.subscriptions.retrieve(subscriptionId as string);
            console.log('subscription', subscription);
            break;
        }
    }
},
onEvent: async (event) => {
    switch (event.type) {
        case 'checkout.session.completed': {
            const subscriptionId = event.data.object.subscription
            const subscription = await stripeBackendClient.subscriptions.retrieve(subscriptionId as string);
            console.log('subscription', subscription);
            break;
        }
    }
},
And it logs this subscription object:

(shortened some things, because the message would have been too long and I dont have discord nitro) Do we have to populate any metadata or something? 🤔 @Ping Sorry for the ping, but its breaking the subscription flow a bit 🙈 Can you confirm whether this is a bug or if we r missing any configurations? If it's a bug I can create an issue in github when necessary
