Not sure I completely follow. Can you elaborate?

Yup. I'm thinking of changing the renewal date of a subscription by adding a trial period as per https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/billing-cycle#add-a-trial-to-change-the-billing-cycle. But I'm having a hard time figuring out how that effects MRR as it says:

Any subscription still in a trialing status does not count towards your Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR), as the subscription is not active and there is no predictable revenue for that subscriber.

Updating a subscription with trial_end updates the subscription and adds a trial until the timestamp specified. In that case, the subscription status is "status": "trialing"

So no, in that case it won't be considered active

I'm having trouble figuring it out because its only “trialing” between being active when billed the first time and then again when it’s billed the second.

Not sure I completely understand this part 😅
Do you have an example in mind?

Sorry, I find the MRR calculation confusing to talk through. It sounds like, if I had 100 monthly $100 subscriptions, I would have an MRR of $10,000. But if I wanted to move the renewal date of all of them, and added one trial day to each, my MRR would suddenly be 0 until each of those trials converted back to active subscriptions, is that right?

Because the MRR calculation is only taking the current status into account, and an unfortunate side-effect of moving the renewal date via trial_end is its status is trialing until the new date is reached?
