Q1. No period != phase. A Phase could contains multiple periods
Q2. It shouldn't IMO. Please provide some Id in case you want to clarify on a concrete example
Q3. Using trial_end will mark the period free (no charge). If you want to downgrade to a less expensive price, but still not 0 then you need Subscription Schedule

But Subscipriton Schedule is a bit complex. I suggest playing with it in Test mode, using Test Clock to fully test and understand its behavior

Thank you so much!

Q4. So if I want to downgrade the subscription after the end of the current cycle, can I call it like below?

// Get Subscription
$subscription = \Stripe\Subscription::retrive([
  'id' => $subscriptionId,
]);

// Create Subscription Schedule with from_subscription
$sched = \Stripe\SubscriptionSchedule::create([
  'from_subscription' => $subscription->id,
]);

// Update Subscription Schedule using subscription's current_period_start & current_period_end
\Stripe\SubscriptionSchedule::update($sched->id, [
  'phases' => [
    [
      "start_date" => $subscription->current_period_start,
      "end_date" => $subscription->current_period_end,
      'items' => [
        [
          'price' => $gold->id,
          'quantity' => 1,
        ],
      ]
    ],
    [
      "start_date" => $subscription->current_period_end,
      'items' => [
        [
          'price' => $silver->id,
          'quantity' => 1,
        ],
      ],
    ],
  ]
]);

Q5. To fulfill the requirements in Q4, I think I need to do it in the following order, is that correct?

1. Get current_period_start and current_period_end from Subscription.
2. create a Create Subscription Schedule API via fom_subscription.
3. update the start_date and end_date of the current phase with the current_period_start and current_period_end values from step 1 through Update Subscription Schedule.

This is too complicated. Is there any way to get current_period_start and current_period_end without a subscription lookup? I know that when I do Create Subscription Schedule, the information from the subscription is copied. Is there any way to get the current_period_start and current_period_end information in the Subscription Schedule?

Q6. What if I look up a subscription and get both current_period_start and current_period_end, but by the time I update the subscription schedule, a new period has already started for the current subscription? Will it throw an error?
