This can best be done with a subscription schedule. You can basically have a schedule that ends when that first billing period does, switches the subscription to your monthly price, and then releases the subscription from the schedule

As you have seen, updating a subscription directly will always switch it over to the new plan, you can prevent it from billing immediately but it will still try to bill once the month is up.
If you have any questions on subscription schedules, let me know. They can be a bit complicated at first

Ah cool, thanks Pompey. Will read the docs on that and follow up if I have any trouble with it!
