@fervent turret that behaviour with 2 line items is expected behaviour yes.
What you want is to go from 5 to 7. What we (Stripe) do is go from 7 to 0 and then from 0 to 8. It creates 2 separate proration line items. There is no way to unify the line items into one

No need to get super detailed, but could you elaborate a bit on what you mean by "What we (Stripe) do is go from 7 to 0 and then from 0 to 8."?

When we prorate, we calculate the credit owed back to the customer for the remaining time. They paid for a month for a quantity of 7, if mid-month they change the quantity, you owe them a credit for half the month.
The we also charge them for how much they owe you for the quantity of 8 for example for half the month.

It's akin to downgrading to 0 and then back up to 8 sequentially. We do this for many reason (tax changes, coupon logic, tiers and many more)

So if you have $10/month, I pay you $10 on April 1st. Then on April 15 I ask to go to quantity 4:

  • You owe me $5 back in credit (half the month April 15-30 that I already paid but won't use)
  • I owe you $20 (half the month April 15-30 I haven't paid yet for 4 quantity of $10 but half the period)
    Both of those sum to me owing you $15, but modeled as two line items

Ah this totally makes sense. Thank you for taking the time to clarify!
