I might just be completely not understanding the math behind prorations either

The math behind proration is a different thing 😄 It's basically take the part they haven't used with the old price, returns it, and take the portion they are going to use with the new price, and charge it

#

But given that you don't want proration, How about just turn off the proration?

What is the "invoice immediately from the dashboard" option btw?

Without that the subscription plans were just getting updated with no invoices and would be charged for it on the next billing date / cycle

Yes that's correct. The toggle and options there is identical to the API parameters described here https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/upgrade-downgrade#immediate-payment

Upgrade and downgrade subscriptions

Learn how to upgrade and downgrade subscriptions by changing the price.

#

So I guess if you want to bill them immediately, but without proration amount, yes you would need to use API and:

Turn off proration
Create a separated charge immediately charge them for the new amount
On next billing cycle silence the scheduled charge by a coupon or discount
