Rails Rspec showing different results than console - ruby-on-rails

Question

I have a feature which works fine in production and in development, but the test I wrote for it doesn't pass. It seems like the data is not persisting, although when I use byebug it shows that it's fine.
Here's my spec:
it "cancels a user plan" do
plan = FactoryBot.create(:plan, name: 'MOMLab', paypal_id: 'MOMLab15')
user = FactoryBot.create(:user, email: 'payer#email.com',
payer_id: '6M5AMEDMVMSNL')
user_plan = FactoryBot.create(:user_plan, user: user, plan: plan, end_date: nil)
ipn = FactoryBot.create(:ipn, :cancelation)
sign_in FactoryBot.create(:user, :admin)
visit ipn_path(ipn)
expect(user_plan.status).to eq('Active')
click_on 'Process'
sleep 10
expect(ipn.reload.complete?).to be_truthy
expect(user_plan.reload.end_date.to_date).to eq(Time.zone.now.to_date)
expect(user_plan.status).to eq('Canceled')
end
Here's the code:
def cancel_subscription
#user = find_user
#user_plan = #plan.user_plans.where(user: #user).active.first
if #user_plan
#user_plan.end_date = Time.zone.now
#user_plan.status = 'Canceled'
#user_plan.save!
if #user_plan.persisted?
#ipn.update(complete: true)
else
handle_errors("User plan didn't save")
end
else
handle_errors("Couldn't find subscription")
end
end
I put the object with inspect during the execution and in the test - in the execution it appears like everything is okay and changes have persisted (it goes into the persisted? tree, but outside in the test it shows as if the object has never been saved.
Any ideas?
Edit:
Here's my rails_helper.rb:
