If Stripe is down, you can't create a Stripe token. Iirc tokens also expire fairly quickly (at least - in my testing, that appears to be the case. Perhaps it's different for different types of tokens.)

Are Stripe's systems are isolated enough to where their token system is disjoint from the charge system? Do we know what uptime for their token system looks like?

That’s a fair point about creating Stipe tokens.

In my experience (processing several thousand payments with Stripe daily) when there are blips they do seem to be isolated to specific endpoints/entities.
