👋 happy to help

#

maybe using billing_cycle_anchor https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-billing_cycle_anchor would be the most appropriate

But billing_cycle_anchor only accepts now or unchanged 😅, how can I use it then?

#

I remember I tried to make an update to the billing_cycle_anchor using a timestamp and Stripe responded with an error.

hmm you're right, in update it doesn't take a timestamp 😮‍💨

I just want to run an script and reset the billing_cycle_anchor so Stripe send invoices at 12 AM of the respective timezone next month

I think SubscriptionSchedules can help in that case

#

https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules

Subscription schedules

Learn how to use subscription schedules to automate changes to subscriptions over time.

yeah, I read about them but got lost, can you provide me some guidance on how I could proceed? Should I create a schedule using from_subscription? How should I setup the phases? Should I release the schedule at some point?

#

@unique vine help me find myself in this jungle 😂

#

What about pausing payment collection and set resumes_at to 12AM of the users respective timezone?
