They represent a customer's payment instrument, and can be used with the Stripe API just like a `Card` object: once chargeable, they can be charged, or can be attached to customers. Stripe doesn't recommend using the deprecated [Sources API](https://docs.stripe.com/api/sources). We recommend that you adopt the [PaymentMethods API](https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_methods). This newer API provides access to our latest features and payment method types. Related guides: [Sources API](https://docs.stripe.com/sources) and [Sources & Customers](https://docs.stripe.com/sources/customers). - … - `delinquent` boolean, nullable — Tracks the most recent state change on any invoice belonging to the customer. Paying an invoice or marking it uncollectible via the API will set this field to false. An automatic payment failure or passing the `invoice.due_date` will set this field to `true`. If an invoice becomes uncollectible by [dunning](https://docs.stripe.com/billing/automatic-collection), `delinquent` doesn't reset to `false`.
