How do your users typically cancel their subscriptions? Is this through the Customer Portal or your own custom page?
tough thunder
own custom page
radiant perch
I think the best way to do this would be to create a subscription schedule on the subscription https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules
You can set the schedule to last for two cycles and then cancel
Without a schedule you can set cancel_at_period_end but that wouldn't charge for the next month, so that doesn't work for your usecase
tough thunder
Is there any way to do this without subscription schedules?
radiant perch
Unfortunately not with anything pre-built by Stripe. A schedule would be the only way to tell us to charge them one more time and then cancel.

rip
okay
why did you link iterations? is there anything in particular about it that would help me?
I'm not sure how I see setting that would be beneficial for me
radiant perch
Iterations tell the schedule how many cycles the phase should go for
tough thunder
actually just thought of an easy way to do this. If they schedule a cancellation < 2 days, then I'll just attach metadata 'cancel_after_paid' to the subscription. Then on invoice.paid, if I see this metadata exist, i just cancel the subscription
any flaws in this? ^ lol
radiant perch
Ah, yep that would be a much simpler way to do it. Nice workaround
radiant perch
You as well!
