Stripe. Confirmed fix, 1 October 2026.

Error:

```
resource_missing
```

## Cause

The object was created in live mode and the API call used a test-mode secret key (or the reverse). Test and live are separate datasets.

## Fix

Check the key prefix (sk_test_ vs sk_live_) against the object's mode before debugging further.
