Don't use pause collection for this -- I'd suggest using a trial period as the simplest option
Note the suggestion to use proration_behavior=none to disable prorations when you add the trial
vapid ermine
No, the trial period is free

We need to charge the user for the first period. Is it possible to do it by creating the subscription and then updating it to add the trial?
vapid ermine
Yep, you can do that if you want, but if the subscription is new you might also want to set the billing cyckle anchor up front
Depends on your needs, but yes you can add the trial after if needed

Here's an example of something that we want to achieve:
Create and charge for a subscription on November 1st but then start "counting" on the 15th, so that the next billing is on December 15th and only charge them for 1 month, not 1 month + 15 days.
That's why I was thinking about adding a trial from November 1st to 15th right after creating the subscription

If you want to charge for a month when they start, then cycle later than one month after that, starting without a trial to invoice the first month then adding a trial until the next renewal date you want (with prorations disabled) is the simplest way to achieve that
