Hi there!

#

Yes this is likely based on using cancel_at versus cancel_at_period_end

#

Can you provide an example that I can look at?

ruby cargo Aug 11, 2022, 5:09 PM

#

Hey @rare fractal. Sure. The sub is sub_1KbIATBBamLIIR3Zi5WRTd6U

#

Thanks, give me a moment to look

#

Yep okay so you are correct with why this is happening.

#

The cancel_at you are using is a few hours off of the billing period

#

So there are two ways to fix this really

ruby cargo Aug 11, 2022, 5:16 PM

#

OK.

#

You could update the Sub with cancel_at after it is created so that you know the exact billing period timing

#

Or, you can use the Subscriptions Schedules API: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules

Subscription Schedules API

Learn about the Subscription Schedules object and how to use it.

#

This would allow you to cancel after a certain amount of billing periods

#

Ex: I would create the sub... get the current period start and then set the cancel at for X number of months away?

#

Is there a way to show what invoices would be created for a subscription to test and see what the last invoice would be or show that on current live subscriptions?

You'd want to use test clocks to test this out: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/testing/test-clocks

Test your integration with test clocks

Learn how to move Billing objects through time in test mode.

OK. I'll try that out. Thank you for the help. Have a great day.
