When and how do you plan to charge the customer after updating the subscription? Do you mean you prefer not to have any proration when updating the subscription?

[half notch]

our need is simple - we have an investment platform. where customer can create and update their recurring investment. to create a recurring investment we are using https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create and we don't face any issue on the create api.

lets say we have a customer who created a subscription for $400 every month. currently our customer needs to pay for his first recurring investment now and after 30 days he will be charged with $400 for indefinite period.

after few days when he decides to update the recurring investment from $400 to $100 and monthly to every week. we are using https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/update to update the subscription amount and frequency but we don't want to charge the customer right away. we want to charge the customer 1 week from when they updated their subscription. but currently customers are getting charged right away. we want to stop this

I see! One way I can think of is to add a trial with new plan until the next billing cycle, so that the customer won't be charged till then: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/billing-cycle#changing
