Hi! Let me help you with this.

Hi Vanya. I've got a client who's subscription is about to go out today and I need to reset that date to the 1st. Using the dashbaord all I can see is the ability to reset it to today, which won't do!

You can set the billing_cycle_anchor to the 1st of the next month: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-billing_cycle_anchor

how cna I do this w.o prorating the subscription?

this doesn't seem to be the answer

https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/billing-cycle#changing

it looks like I can only reset immediately or add a trial for existing subscriptions

Right, you can do this when creating a Subscription: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-billing_cycle_anchor

this worked but this is not a good solution. I basically have to log back in on June 1 to reset the billing cycle manually?

If you set it when creating the Subscription, you can choose any future date.

i understand that, but my question is about an existing subscription

thanks for your help, Vanya

Yes, you'll need to do it manually on the first of the month.

We also have Subscription Schedules that might help to make this automatic, but it might be an overkill for this task: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules

Please, let me know if you have any other questions.
