Hello 👋 , can you tell me more about how you are creating these subscriptions and what specifically you are seeing where we tell you the limit is 3 years?

[sterile pendant]

I want a subscription with an infinite billing cycle, is it possible?

That is to say, it never ends, since it is a free subscription, it is to avoid registering many records per webhook database.

[tardy lion]

Ah, so that setting is how often the subscription cycles. So like if you have a monthly subscription, it will cycle and charge the user every month, but it will cycle indefinitely until the subscription is cancelled

[sterile pendant]

Correct

[tardy lion]

Are you saying you want an infinite cycle? We do not support those at the moment.

Can you tell me more about what you are trying to do overall with these subscriptions?

[sterile pendant]

What happens is that, every month, I add the user billing to the database, but if it is a free plan, and a user never uses paid plans, there will be many records, so to avoid this, it is to make a plan free has an indefinite duration (it is to save records in the database).

[tardy lion]

At that point is there a specific reason to create a Subscription object with us? I feel like it may be easier to have some flag in your DB that they are on a free plan and provision access based on that.

[sterile pendant]

Indicate that they are on a free plan, but without the need to add it to my database, is that what you mean?

Honestly it's to let my system know it's on a free plan.

[tardy lion]

Without creating the Stripe object is more what I was getting at. Sometimes it can just be easier to provision things without creating a Stripe object and just recording things in your own system.
Otherwise, to actually use subscriptions here 3 years would be the closest you can get

[sterile pendant]

I understand, well I still think that every 3 years is also useful, for the moment, I hope that in the future Stripe can take into account indefinite subscriptions.
