hi! depends on the update. Some updates require a payment

https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/upgrade-downgrade#immediate-payment

Stripe immediately attempts payment for these subscription changes:

• From a subscription that doesn’t require payment (for example, due to a trial or free subscription) to a paid subscription
• When the billing period changes

if it's not one of those updates, then the update applies immediately, and if there's any prorated payments involved, those are added as items to the next recurring invoice for the subscription.

this can all be changed and configured, really depends exactly what code you wrote and what you want to happen

I had this scenario that I scheduled change of plan of subscription at the end of current period.
then sure, that will just apply the change at the end of the period and there's not going to be any separate Invoice for a subscription_update, that's normal. You'd just get the normal subscription_cycle renewal invoice

okay, I think I get the idea now.
thank you!

you can tell the plan changed since there should be a customer.subscription.updated event during the renewal

where in previous_attributes, the current_period_[start|end] have changed, and the items have changed as well
