hello! By default, It'd credit the amount for the prorated time for the old price, and charge for the prorated time for the new price
in case you haven't seen this yet, you can use test clocks to mimic the passing of time : https://stripe.com/docs/billing/testing/test-clocks

yeah. but can I control the proration? I can't see proration_behavior:none to prevent any proration in the api.
craggy lintel
there is a proration parameter : https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-proration_behavior
sharp edge
but that is for subscription. What I hope to do is to update a product's price and all the subscriptions using the product will automatically update the price without proration while in renewal it will use the new price
craggy lintel
ah, unfortunately that's not how it works. You need to loop through each subscription to update it. If you want to update a subscription after the current billing cycle, you can look into Subscription Schedules instead : https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules/use-cases#changing-subscriptions
sharp edge
Oh, so this changing subscription from this doc will achieve the same behavior as changing the price with proration_behavior:none?
oh this is changing to a completely different subscription. it's different isn't it?
craggy lintel
it's not changing to a completely different subscription
i reccomend testing it out to see how it works
you would need to specify the proration_behaviour when using Subscription Schedules
craggy lintel
i think Subsscription Schedules are fairly complicated, if you run into issues while using it, feel free to reach out again here
just as a high level overview :
- create a Subscription Schedule from an existing Subscription
- Update the newly created Subscription Schedule
after reading through what you wrote, you shouldn't need to update the proration schedule cause you're changing the Price at the end of the billing cycle

Oh I sure will do reach out. I like this discord!
