What's the use-case here?

Hey there! Yes, so basically I want to do some tests with my webhooks, in this case the invoice upcoming. But I don't have any way to set a subscription to start a year ago (we offer yearly subscriptions), so ideally we would like to move a subscription start to a year ago and the renewal of it this year for example

If you're just creating tests for this scenario, I would recommend using Test Clocks: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/testing/test-clocks

That allows you to create a Subscription and advance the Customer through time to just before the next iteration of the Subscription becomes due.

I realize that doesn't totally answer you question about adjusting the Invoice time, but figured I'd start there in case it solves your problem

I run into an issue with that. How can I create a subscription on my end (using a script) that is a subscription on a test clock simulator?

👋 stepping in as two-shoes needs to step away

The way test clocks work is that you set them on the Customer

Then you create a Subscription for that Customer

https://stripe.com/docs/billing/testing/test-clocks?dashboard-or-api=api#create-clock details the steps of using the API here

And it's automatically assigned to the test clock then?

Yep

Awesome! Thank you both guys 😁
