Hi there!

Hi
glass elk
Can you clarify what "{cancel_at_period_end: true} for subscription pause" means with a concrete example?
cobalt tulip
sure
i want to pause subscription at the end date of subscription period.
if i pass {pause_collection: {behavior: 'void'}} it will pause the subscription immediately
glass elk
Oh I see! No we don't have a pause_at_period_end parameter. However if you want to update the subscription at a specific time in the future (for example to pause the subscription at the end of the period) it's possible with Subscriptions Schedule. You can learn more about this here: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules

ok but later after some time i want to resume my subscription means how?
glass elk
How to unpause a subscription is covered here: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/pause#unpausing

Thank you
just need one small confirmation regarding pause Subscription
if we pause the subscription for 10 days the next billing will generate after 10 days delay only right?
glass elk
What do you mean by "next billing", do you mean the next invoice? When a subscription is paused, it continues to create the invoice at the usual times, so there would be no delay.
glass elk
What's your end goal exactly here?
cobalt tulip
i want to stop next invoice generation until specific time period with out cancelling subscription

Not possible, but if you pause the subscription then the invoices can stay in draft status or void status, depending on what you want.
cobalt tulip
my usecase is user can pause subscription for a particular timeperiod with out cancelling and later user can resume whenever requires. so they can use same subscription without creating new one

That's what the pausing feature is for: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/pause
