Hello! So you're doing what's described here? https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/backdating?dashboard-or-api=api#backdating-billing-cycle

[stoic venture]

essentially yes

but I set to proration_behavior to none

[unreal solstice]

By setting proration_behavior to none you're basically telling us not to issue an Invoice.

[stoic venture]

ok, seems, that I misunderstood the value of none. How can I charge the full amount, even if the subscription has started throughout the month?

[unreal solstice]

If you omit proration_behavior what happens?

[stoic venture]

Seems like charing the full amount is the default

Can you confirm this? I tested it right now

[unreal solstice]

When backdating a Subscription and setting a billing cycle anchor we would charge for the time specified between those two by default, as explained in the docs I linked above. That's what you're seeing when you test, correct?

[stoic venture]

I read the docs before and probably my mental model of proration is wrong, because even after rereading it, it is not obvious to me, that this is the case. However my test yields the result you described, so I guess this case is closed.

Thanks very much for the fast help. I usually read the docs very carefully and try things out, but I was stuck here.

Happy to help!
