But while integrating stripe the billing cycle start and end time are the current exact time, Is there any Possible way so that I can change the stripe billing cycle as per my current Payment design ?
Can you share where you see matching timestamps? Is it the API, on an invoice?

its in API, lets suppose I created a checkout session, user pays via that session and gets associated to a subscription, In the subscription obj current_period_start and current_period_end I want this to modify as per my Design
@kind umbra are there any workaround to achieve this ?

Can you share an example sub_xxx ID?

Please confirm If I am making sense to you in the first query 🙂 ?, becoz I am not pointing any subscriptionId, I am asking in the context of developing a subscription feature in my App

Oh, the way you described it as if there was an existing subscription that demonstrated this behaviour

If there's no example, how can you conclude this?
I need to see an example because I don't understand what you're describing

This is an example test subscription Object which was created after completing the checkout session

So you do have a sub_xxx ID 😮💨

"current_period_end": 1710255000,
"current_period_start": 1707749400,
These two keys are the subscription cycle dates right ?

Taking a look
Not sure what the issue is?
1710255000 is Tue Mar 12 2024 14:50:00 GMT+0000
1707749400 is Mon Feb 12 2024 14:50:00 GMT+0000

currently my App's payment design is such that the billing cycle for eg: If someone buys at the present moment, the subscription starts in a past date like the beginning of the current day 00:00:00 hrs, and ends similariy after 1 month at 23:59:59 hrs.
Can I achieve this with stripe, Can I modify the current_period_start and current_period_end as per my App's payment Design

You can't backdate a subscription start date via Checkout no
You'd need to use the API custom flow: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/backdating

Yes I have been busy reading docs couldn't conclude so I asked in the dev-help

You can control the billing anchor, but only in the future: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/checkout/billing-cycle
