Because not everyone purchases on 1st of month

I know it cycles on the same day but I am not 100% sure it always cycles on the same second. I think it would but don't know for sure. If you create a subscription on a test clock, you can confirm if the cycling goes to the exact second https://stripe.com/docs/billing/testing/test-clocks

Cool feature, test clocks. I don't care for exact second, sorry for confusion, just wanted to clarify that subscriptions run on a per-customer monhtly interval and not execute on 1st of month. This could indeed overload an application and we would need to scale up just around month-change only to receive webhooks.

Correct, they definitely cycle on whatever day the user signed up by default. You can manipulate the billing cycle anchor so that they all cycle on the 1st but that takes specific effort from you to do. So that scattering should automatically happen for you!
