looking for info on how customers can manage their own accounts directly via Stripe. There are upgrades/downgrade options, etc?
What do you mean by "manage their own accounts" and upgrades/downgrades? do you mean like subscriptions ?

Also - wondering what the time delay is between when something posts on a subscription management platform (PayKickstart) and then Stripe...
Here we don't know much about PayKickstart. probably you should ask their support for this and how are they integrating Stripe .

What are your go-to subscription management sites?

ie. What are the most common ones you deal with?

Not sure I'm understanding you. But is you want to give your customer to manage their subscription they can use Stripe Customer Portal:

And yes - we run an e-learning platform. Students buy either on a monthly or yearly basis. We want to give them the ability to check their account details, upgrade/downgrade cancel, etc.

You can use then the Stripe Customer Portal, you can find all its features here:

What subscription management platforms do you commonly integrate with?

What do you mean by "subscription management platforms"? the customer portal I shared is a Stripe standalone product
