Can you share the subscription ID? I want to take a look

verbal sierra Feb 17, 2023, 4:16 PM

#

yes, one sec

#

this is the subscription id: sub_1McVCSBedPgr0Zv2aDounDc9

#

you can see in the upcoming invoice, that period is not calculated correctly

#

Got it that makes sense now. So yeah there's not a way to localize this. Everything is based on UTC timestamps

#

That's unfortunately just how the API works currently

#

Can you suggest a workaround or another way to approach this requirement?

#

The issue is that the German time conversion -> UTC time conversion has the UTC timestamp on the last day of the previous month, which as you know is different month to month (some months are longer than others). If possible, I recommend switching to something like 12pm (not am) on the first of the month so that the cycle is pinned to the 1st of the month

#

There's not really a good workaround for the 12am German time requirement

#

I can check, but I think this 12am is a legal requirement. So I guess, the last resort would be to create the invoices manually and manage the periods in our application, right?

Yeah you could do that
