Hi! Thanks for your response earlier. Sorry I had to step away for a bit
Allow me to explain my use case:
- Say I create a subscription with quantity 5 (5 users) on Jun 21.
- An invoice is generated immediately from Jun 21 to Jul 21
- Next invoice is generated on July 21 for the period Jul 21 - Aug 21
- But before this next invoice is generated, I want to update the number of users on the subscription with x (a value that is calculated ON Jul 21)
Do you have a recommendation to achieve this? Initially I thought of doing this by using invoice.upcoming webhook but that wont allow me to update the subscription quantity based on the # of users on Jul 21 (i.e., the beginning of next billing cycle).

And you can't perform this calculation on July 21 prior to the actual new billing period?
Like can you do it just beforehand?

I can do it just beforehand, yes. I need to do it just before the next invoice is generated. As close to Jul 21 as possible

Gotcha well that would be my recommendation then.
You update the Subscription a few hours prior to the cycle. When you update you can set proration_behavior: none so that no proration is taken into account
Then the new quantity will be billed during the new renewal

Intresting... "a few hours prior to the cycle" -- is there a specific webhook event I can use to get notified of this? Or is it the invoice.upcoming webhook event? That event has the minimum notification period of one day IIRC
acoustic ivy
Yeah you most likely will need to have some sort of trigger on your end unless you are willing to use invoice.upcoming which actually has a 3 day minimum

Gotcha. Thank you for your help!
