Metadata set when creating a Checkout Session stays on the Session object. It is not copied onto the PaymentIntent that Checkout creates in payment mode, nor onto the Subscription and Invoice created in subscription mode. Downstream events such as payment_intent.succeeded, invoice.paid and charge.refunded therefore carry empty metadata, and reconciliation code expecting an order ID there finds nothing.
Confirm by creating a session with metadata and inspecting the resulting PaymentIntent. Pass the values explicitly through payment_intent_data.metadata for one-time payments and subscription_data.metadata for subscriptions, which places them on the objects the later events reference. Note that payment_intent_data is rejected in subscription mode and subscription_data is rejected in payment mode, so the branch is mandatory.
