What Is Apple CONSUMPTION_REQUEST?
CONSUMPTION_REQUEST is an Apple notification that can ask the developer server for consumption information before Apple makes a refund decision.
Why timing matters
Teams need a fast, reliable path to prepare and submit context while the request is still actionable.

The response informs Apple. It does not guarantee that a refund will be denied.
