How to simulate Past-Due status on Subscription

I got the following reply from Braintree support about this issue:

Because our sandbox environment is meant to replicate our production environment there is no way to force a subscription to past due. However here is a little work around that might make this testing easier:

To put a subscription in the Past Due status in the Sandbox, you can create a subscription with a trial period of one day and a price of $2000. Then, when the one day trial expires, it will trigger a transaction create that will fail because of the dollar amount.

The $2000 price tag is likely for the Test Amounts for Unsuccessful Transactions to trigger the credit card payment to fail. I have setup a test, and will edit this if the test proves unsuccessful.

Adding on to Tyler V's response, and this is still the only way to test it, unfortunately.

From support:

Thanks for reaching out, and appreciate your patience. Using a sandbox account, the shortest amount of time you can simulate a result will be 1 day. Use the following example to create a Past Due status:

Create a plan with a 1 day trial and $2000 price Create a customer with a credit card Create a new subscription using the plan and customer The first charge attempt will be after 1 day (when the trial expires) and will fail The automatic retries will be at +10 and +20 days of the subscription going past due Please see the following page for Sandbox test values. I would recommend that the you create a LOT of these at one time so you have multiples to work with; otherwise you’ll have to wait a day for each new one they create to move into past due.
