Hi there!

#

Can you share the request ID (req_xxx)? Here's how you can find it: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request

wild grotto Sep 30, 2022, 8:59 AM

#

Sure! This one: req_hUWbGwiL8LuWrl

#

It's for "test mode"

#

Why do you need a subscription schedule if you only have one phase? You could directly update the subscription itself.

wild grotto Sep 30, 2022, 9:04 AM

#

I need to replace some subscription items for about 1000 subscriptions, but the changes should happen only tomorrow at midnight, not immediately. So I'm trying to schedule it

#

(The "start_date"="now" was just a test)

junior sigil Sep 30, 2022, 9:08 AM

#

Got it! The issue in your request is this part: start_date: "now". You need to set the start_date to the existing start date of the subscription (which is not "now")

#

You can find it by retrieving the existing subscription schedule and using the current phases[0].start_date

#

Okay, thanks for the information. I will change that part.
And where can I set that the changes should be applied in the future (tomorrow at midnight)? I thought it was in the first phase's start_date of the Subscription Schedule

#

The very first phase is the current phase of the subscription. If you want to make a change in the future, then you will need a second phase for that (and use the appropriate start_date)

wild grotto Sep 30, 2022, 9:18 AM

#

Oh I didn't know I had to use a second phase, that's what I missed then.
My doubt now is about what attributes I need to set for the first phase...
In that case, should I set an end_date to the first phase with all the current items, and then on the second phase I set the start_date and the new items?

Hey! Taking over for my colleague. Let me catch up.

wild grotto Sep 30, 2022, 9:22 AM

#

All right! Thank you 🙂

stoic gale Sep 30, 2022, 9:23 AM

In that case, should I set an end_date to the first phase with all the current items, and then on the second phase I set the start_date and the new items?
Are you talking about update the subscription_schedule ? if so, yes you need to set the end_date of the first phase of the currently items, and add your next phase(s) with new items

wild grotto Sep 30, 2022, 9:29 AM

#

Okay. So basically this is what I understood and will try to do to schedule changes to subscription items:

create new subscription schedule
update the subscription schedule and set:
2.1 first phase (current one): add subscription's original start date to "start_date," the current items, and set "end_date" to tomorrow at midnight
2.2 second phase (new): set the new items and "start_date" to tomorrow at midnight
Anything I might have missed? 🤔

stoic gale Sep 30, 2022, 9:42 AM

#

you mean creating the subscription_schedule from an existing subscriptionId? if so, yes that's how you can do

wild grotto Sep 30, 2022, 9:54 AM

#

I tried that and now I'm getting the error "Request req_SBXnpPQIflOlRU: You can not modify the start date of the current phase".

If I don't set the start_date on the first phase then I get error "Request req_mZXRbzq8ridBMe: The subscription schedule update is missing at least one phase with a start_date to anchor end dates to even tho there is a start_date in the second phase (the new one).

I'm doing like this:

    subscription_schedule = stripe.SubscriptionSchedule.create(
        from_subscription=current_subscription["subscription_id"]
    )

    stripe.SubscriptionSchedule.modify(
        subscription_schedule["id"],
        phases=[
            {
                "proration_behavior": "none",
                "start_date": current_subscription["start_date"],
                "end_date": 1664582400,  # tomorrow
                "items": current_subscription["items"],
            },
            {
                "proration_behavior": "none",
                "start_date": 1664582400,  # tomorrow
                "items": items,
            },
        ],
    )

Any clue what could be the issue?

stoic gale Sep 30, 2022, 9:59 AM

#

Actually, the firs phase need to have the same start_date of the current active phase of the subscription,

#

You can get the subscription_schedule https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscription_schedules/retrieve in order to use the exact current start_date and use it with the first phase while doing the update

ohhh I see! I changed that part and it worked!
Thanks a lot!!
