Hello 👋
I think what you want is to add trial days which would allow you to move the billing cycle anchor accordingly.

I did consider that. The subscription status would change to TRIALING which would require some code changes on the application side which is why I was considering other options that might keep the subscription in ACTIVE status.

Hmm. I think a simpler alternative could be issuing credit notes to the customers for the amount of the invoice you're expecting. The customer credit balance should automatically apply to the next finalized invoice. But that won't help you move the billing cycle anchor

So I guess I could issue credits, then use the update subscription API to change billing cycle anchor to 'now' on May 1. Trial days with minor code changes may be simpler than that though.

yeah that's why I suggested that as the first option 🙂
