The scenario im trying to work with is that we want all subscriptions to have a billing cycle at the 1st of the month. If the trial is active, and the customer provides us a payment method, we want to have a prorated first invoice

But if i add that billing_cycle_anchor param, and they dont attach a payment method, it STILL creates the invoice which I dont want as i've passed the cancel option for the trial settings

My question is now, how would I work around that until that issue is fixed?

Hello 👋
Give me a few to look

The one workaround I can think of is to just void the invoice once the linked subscription trial has ended and the subscription has been deleted

[deep badger]

Yeah that was my original thought, use webhooks to know if a subscription was cancelled, look at the previous status and if trialing, delete any invoices

Is there any timeline or issue to follow to see progress on when the original issue is fixed?

Unfortunately, don't have an ETA

For this case, there is no previous_attributes since its a deletion. On the subscription, is it guaranteed to have https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/object#subscription_object-ended_at equal to https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/object#subscription_object-trial_end when it ends due to an expired trial?

[cosmic sleet]

I believe it should be equal, yes

Haven't tested it myself though

would recommend running a quick test with test clocks

i was using this event evt_1NfOZBKjI0M1O6BOkoKJMMtk to check that

yup just did that
