@meager merlin 👋 are you a developer here or a consumer trying to pay for this?

The way this UI works is to show you how much you'll pay next month when you pay for the next cycle with the new quantity + the proration for the current cycle with an increased quantity.
I recommend reading https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/prorations carefully

Yeah I know the doc.
My understanding is that if you sign up one person for $10 and then immediately add another person for $10, you will simply be minus roughly $10 and add roughly $20 for two people.
So I'm not sure why $30.

yeah sorry you didn't read what I said though and are likely more focused on what you think should happen.
If you subscribe on March 28 for $10 for quantity 1 and then you move to quantity 2, what we do is credit you $10 (remaining time on quantity 1 not used) and debit you $20 (remaining time on quantity 2 not paid yet). That means -$10 + $20 = $10.
But we don't charge that difference immediately (that's what the doc I linked explained). Instead, we wait for the next Invoice to add that amount owed to the future cycle.
On April 28, a new cycle starts for April 28-May 28. That cycle will be for quantity 2 so $20 for that month
$20 + the amount owed from the proration of $10 (calculated above) will be $30 on April 28

Now I understood!
