invoice.invalid

An announced, unaccepted payment was dropped or its block was reorged. The invoice closed with invalid_reason describing that observation failure.

Money and processing# #

Correlate the payment and transaction identity, and read the invoice for current state. This event does not instruct you to reverse a previously accepted credit. An accepted-payment reversal uses invoice.payment_reversed.

Keep late-payment handling: invalid closure can be followed by a later acceptance.
