I tried releasing the schedule from the subscription a la https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules/use-cases#releasing-subscription, but then couldn't update it or replace it

Hello

[main spire]

Hi! Happy to answer any clarifying questions

[tribal hamlet]

Hmm why couldn't you replace it?

What happened exactly?

[main spire]

ok here's the first time which succeeds:

const updatedSchedule = await stripe.subscriptionSchedules.update(
  `${subscription.schedule}`,
  {
    phases: [
      {
        items: [
          {
            plan: subscription.items.data[0]?.plan.id,
            quantity: subscription.items.data[0]?.quantity, // existing capacity
          },
        ],
        start_date: subscription.current_period_start,
        end_date: subscription.current_period_end,
      },
      {
        items: [
          {
            plan: subscription.items.data[0]?.plan.id,
            quantity: body.cap, // new capacity
          },
        ],
        start_date: subscription.current_period_end,
      },
    ],
  },
);

which worked. but then trying to do that a second time results in error "You can not update a phase that has already ended. Trying to update phase 0."

If you release a schedule you can't update it.

You would have to re-create it

Unless I'm misunderstanding what you are trying to accomplish?

[main spire]

ok thank you, how can I re-create or replace a schedule on an existing subscription? I tried

const schedule2 = await stripe.subscriptionSchedules.create({
    from_subscription: subscriptionId,
});

and got the error "You cannot migrate a subscription that is already attached to a schedule"

[tribal hamlet]

That error should only fire if you still have a schedule attached

You used https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscription_schedules/release prior to that?

[main spire]

i'll try that right now

you mean like this right?

const releasedSchedule = await stripe.subscriptionSchedules.release(
  scheduleId,
);
const newSchedule = await stripe.subscriptionSchedules.create({
  from_subscription: subscriptionId,
});

[tribal hamlet]

Yep

[main spire]

I get the error "You cannot update a subscription schedule that is currently in the released status. It must be in not_started, active status to be updated."

[tribal hamlet]

Hmm sounds like you already released that schedule?

[main spire]

yes in the line above creating it is where it's released

is there a way to remove a schedule from a subscription entirely and then create a new one?

or remove all phases from a schedule?

[tribal hamlet]

Sorry I don't understand. The error wouldn't be saying "You cannot update a subscription schedule" if you are creating a new one

[main spire]

okay i'll try commenting out everything else that might be interfering, thank you so much so far
