Could you share the code on how the subscription schedule is created?

Yeah

I see that you created two subscription schedules in your code. For creating subscription schedule on the existing schedule, the flow should be:

Create subscription schedule with from_subscription: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules/use-cases#existing-subscription
Update the subscription schedule created in Step 1 with new phase that will change the price in the future date: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscription_schedules/update

In the second subscription schedule creation of your code, you're actually creating a new subscription with subscription schedule. This is not necessary.

In the example code of the official website .update is never used

#

The example code here is to create a new subscription with subscription schedule. I understand it's a bit confusing, but this example is not to have a subscription schedule with existing subscription

One question, if I have a subscription running on a 6-month cycle. When updating the phases should I subtract that month that is currently running?

#

I need to charge 6 months and I already charged the first therefore the phases should be 5 iterations instead of 6, right?

#

When you create a subscription schedule, the first phase will be current phase and has no visibility of the number of cycles that have been processed in the past.

#

And yes, if the subscription has been charged 1 month, then the iterations will be 5. I'd recommend testing out in test env with test clock: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/testing/test-clocks

Ok thanks, i go to test

#

The start_date should be the end date of the current phase?

Can you share the request ID (req_xxx) where you saw this error, so that I could have a check? Here’s how you can find it: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request

Ok wait

#

Is it working now? Or do you still have questions for req_3YREQLOt79XLp8?

lavish tiger Feb 17, 2023, 3:49 AM

#

Add the missing parameter and it worked perfect

Woohoo! Happy to hear that 😄
