Hi @ancient pendant you can use subscription schedule to schedule the downgrade https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules/use-cases#downgrading-subscriptions

You can either create a subscription schedule and let it create a subscription, or create a schedule from an existing subscription. https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscription_schedules/create#create_subscription_schedule-from_subscription

[ancient pendant]

Hello @feral storm, I have already tried with Subscription Schedule, but its creates a new subscription and not add updates to the existing subscription.

one screenshot shows "Update scheduled" (Done manually from stripe dashboard)
one screenshot shows "Starts 17 Jun" (Done via Schedule::create() API)

I want to create Schedule that shows behaves same as Manual operation from stripe dashboard.

SubscriptionSchedule::create() -> This is creating subscription for the future date.

Have you checked this API that creates a schedule from an existing subscription?

[ancient pendant]

yes, if I add from_subscription its not allowing me to add phases.

and if I add only phases then its creating future date subscription.

Hey! Taking over for my colleague. Let me catch up.

Have you tried to create a subscription schedule from an existing subscription

and then update the subscription to add a new phase ?

https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscription_schedules/update

[ancient pendant]

you mean that first I create subscription schedule with from_subscription of existing subscription ID.

and then I update that newly created subscription schedule to add phases to it?

[boreal kettle]

yes

[ancient pendant]

could you give me one example of how I can add phases?

I'm using PHP SDK.

[boreal kettle]

Here is an example:
https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules/use-cases?lang=php#changing-subscriptions

[ancient pendant]

can I use a combination of two

• 1st (https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules/use-cases?lang=php#changing-subscriptions)
• 2nd (https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules/use-cases?lang=php#increasing-quantity)

and in 2nd instead of increase I can use decrease.

what are your thoughts?

from 1st I create a subscription and from 2nd I update it with 2 phases. (1st phase original subscription quantities 2nd phase reduced quantities)

[boreal kettle]

Yes you should be able,

Have you tried to make some tests ?

[ancient pendant]

trying.

[ancient pendant]

I have one more question, when I use subscription::update for upgrades of quantities immediately.

when I use payment_behavior:default_incomplete and proration_behavior:always_invoice its creating invoice for prorated amount.

but the problem is that.

sometimes the invoice is incomplete and sometimes the invoice is complete. I dont understand why it happens.

it should stay fix (either incomplete or complete)

[daring river]

Hi! I'm taking over from my colleague. Please, give me a moment to catch up.

Could you please share IDs of both examples?

[ancient pendant]

example of complete and incomplete invoices?

what example you're taking?

[daring river]

Yes, Invoice IDs of both cases, in_xxx

[ancient pendant]

https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/invoices/in_1PIoVLHpCCuanh4qZURn25ln -> This has not generated payment intent (the payment was completed directly)
https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/invoices/in_1PIOZtHpCCuanh4qbC3HsXdX -> This has generated payment intent (incomplete first and then I used Stripe.confirmCardPayment() in frontend to complete that payment.)

[daring river]

The first one was paid automatically using the customer balance, so the amount due was 0. Therefore it didn't have the PaymentIntent and was marked as paid immediately.

[ancient pendant]

can I make any configuration so that the update operation doesn't use customer balance and always create invoice + payment intent?

[daring river]

It allways applies automatically, unless you reset the customer balance.
