Subscription Schedule is indeed the API you need for defining number of cycles. How didn't it work? Have you tried using Test clock to advance?

Ho Orakaro, thanks for your quick response

after the subscription starts, i used subscription id to create a schedule using 'from_subscription' => 'sub_1NGFypLoTp48kcFwdsgDDEbY' param then updated this schedule with a phase having same price id (as subscription) in it and set
'start_date' => 'now' in schedule update API call

error when start date set : You can not modify the start date of the current phase.

error when start_date param removed: The subscription schedule update is missing at least one phase with a start_date to anchor end dates to.

So the Subscription has 1 ongoing phase already, which you can't change its start date. You would need to specify that ongoing phase, then the next phase with your desired cycle numbers

means when a subscription starts by checkout, it has a schedule by default ? if yes then i need to update that schedule rather than a new schedule

No I meant theoretically it has 1 phase already, and when you take a schedule from it, you can Retrieve the Subscription Schedule to see its current state
