And reset the billing cycle of B. is there a way to do this by updating the subscription? Or do I need to cancel A and then start B
For example, user purchases a $20 subscription. Midmonth, they go to upgrade to $100 subscription. I want to credit them $10, and then bill them for 100, resulting in a total charge of 90, and most importantly, make sure the billing cycle is reset
So it’s not prorating the upgrade. It’s prorating the credit and then billing in full
Does that make sense?

Hi, can you confirm what 'credit them' means in this case?
limpid shell
Like how stripe automatically adds a credit to someone’s account when something about the subscription changes and they owe less
For example if a user downgrades then stripe adds the pro rated credit
I forget the type name of the adjustment

I see, I wanted to make sure that we were on the same page.
The document that you shared is the right document for what you want to do. The following code block shows you that when you update the Subscription, the billing cycle anchor will be reset to now and it will be prorated. https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/prorations
{ billing_cycle_anchor: 'now', proration_behavior: 'create_prorations', }
With this, I recommend that you test this using the test API key and confirm fully this is what you want.
