Hi there, sorry for the delay!

#

Can you share a bit more about your use case? I think you'll want to test with backdate_start_date and billing_cycle_anchor

#

So what we're wanting to do is update a subscription but charge a full month before the next anchored billing date

I'm still unclear on what you're trying to do. Can you try to share exactly what you're trying to do with an example scenario?

So we are essentially using stripe subscriptions as a payment plan, with multiple products on one subscription. So Customer A subscribes to one copy of Plan B at the beginning of the month for $30. Then halfway through the month we want to sign them up for another copy of the plan for an additional $30 and at the next anchor date charge a total of $60 for the two plans together

Do you want to charge them at all halfway through the month for that additional plan? Like, for the $15 for the remaining time on the second copy of the plan?

#

nope, full $30

Got it. I think what you want is to update the subscription halfway through the month while setting the proration_behavior to none: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-proration_behavior
