👋 happy to help

if you don't want the billing cycle to change you need to use https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-billing_cycle_anchor and set it to unchanged when downgrading

[hollow siren]

Yes through it billing is changed but stripe is dowgrading the plan immediately

Yes though billing cycle is not changed but stripe is downgrading the plan immediately

I want plan to be downgraded at the ened of billing_cycle only

[drowsy gulch]

have you tried using https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-proration_date

and set it to the period_end

[hollow siren]

Ye stried, but its didnot worked as per requirement

[drowsy gulch]

then the only other option you have is to use Schedules

https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscription_schedules/create

[hollow siren]

Based on requirement, please suggest which approach to follow without schecdule.
Can it be achieved using proration, anchor...
proration_data

Please let me know if it can be done with above paramatere

[drowsy gulch]

unfortunately, it's not possible to update the subscription in the future unless you're using Schedules

the other thing I mentioned earlier with billing_cycle_anchor is just so that the billing cycle is not affected

[hollow siren]

I tried with schedule, to update subscription in future but its creating new subscription instead of creating existing one, and also the status goes to past_due

[drowsy gulch]

you need to add the from_subscription parameter

so it would keep the actual subscription going
