Happy to help, are you doing this by directly updating a subscription? If so, you can pass proration_behavior: none which will tell Stripe not to not create prorations https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-proration_behavior

If you are updating some other way, let me know the details and I can look in to how to avoid prorations

[calm vigil]

yes i've done that but that doesn't seem to solve it

can i send a code example?

[ancient patrol]

Yes please

The text of the code please, pictures are harder to work with

[calm vigil]

      new_items  =  items_plan_data.collect do |item|
        {
         id: item.id,
         price_data: {
           currency: item.price.currency,
           product: item.price.product,
           recurring: {
            interval_count: 60,
            interval: "day",
            },
            unit_amount_decimal: item.price.unit_amount_decimal
          }
         }
      end
      Stripe::Subscription.update(@subscription_id, {items: new_items})

would this work?

[ancient patrol]

It should as far as I know. Can you run that code again and send me the request ID (req_123) if it does create prorations?

[calm vigil]

ok

this seems to have created an invoice for the full amount of the subscription plan

[ancient patrol]

My apologies, I forgot that switching the billing cycle length inherently resets the billing cycle to now

You can use a Subscription Schedule to do this https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules/use-cases#upgrading-subscriptions

With a subscription schedule, you can tell Stripe to upgrade at the end of the current cycle

[calm vigil]

there's no way to do this within the subscription by changing the price data or plan data?

[ancient patrol]

Not while directly modifying the subscription. You have to schedule the change

[calm vigil]

can i also pass a bililng date or trial period?

to the subscription

[ancient patrol]

You can't pass the date but you can set a trial period

That would also push off the next payment, though the user would get a $0 trial invoice I believe. To do it without an trial period you would need to use a subscription schedule

[calm vigil]

trial period invoice is fine. we just don't want the customer to be billed a partial amount when they change their schedule

this is for a product subscription

a physical product
