Can you share the subscription ID for this subscription?

The subscription's current_phase.end_date is in fact 8/1 🤔

#

Ah, I think the Dashboard presents it in this way because the billing cycle anchor will be reset on 8/1

#

You can see on the same Subscription detail page that the next invoice will be cut on 8/1, as expected

Ya, we don't want our customers to think they're paying for the same period twice. From the first invoice and the second invoice.

#

Ah, I see what you mean. The invoice PDF for the first phase also lists 7/18-8/18

#

Just to be clear, you don't want customers to pay a prorated amount from 7/18 - 8/1, correct?

Correct

got it. I recommend using backdating instead. You'd backdate to 7/1 instead of resetting the billing cycle anchor at the start of the next phase: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules/use-cases#backdating-subscription

My business's requirements require us to set the first charge to any date and all subsequent charges at the 1st of the month. Is the invoice dates always come in 1 month range? We can't change those dates manually on the invoice?
