Hi, could you downgrade the current subscription, https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/upgrade-downgrade to $100, then create the second subscription on that customer?

Given that stripe always invoices the customer on their billing cycle anchor, perhaps a more succinct way to ask the question would be: can I somehow indicate to stripe that I do not want an invoice sent on the next/first billing cycle?

Downgrading the subscription and setting proration_behavior="none" would do what I want for the first subscription (I think), but for the 2nd subscription won't the customer be billed today if the billing cycle anchor is today? I want to avoid charging the customer for the first cycle. Would I have to use a trial that extends the entire length of a billing cycle?

Perhaps that is the answer to my question, use a trial that is the length of a billing cycle to avoid charging the customer for the first cycle.
