Hi 👋
So you are adding a new phase and want the current phase to remain unchanged (except perhaps for an end_date)?
indigo tangle
Hello! Yes, that's correct

Should I have put this in "API" instead of "Best practices"

Hi, taking over as Snufkin_stripe needs to step away, Let me catch up
If you're trying to add a new phase and only update the end_date you can pass any previously set parameters that you want to keep AND pass the desired date on end_date. I recommend that you test your flow using our TestClocks, https://docs.stripe.com/billing/testing/test-clocks. This product allows you to move through time when using Billing so you don't have to wait days/ weeks to see the end behavior.

Just wondering if there's a best practice here, or an easier way to do it instead of manually setting each possible field in the phase. Test clocks are great!
quick briar
Agree, I use TestClocks almost every day when testing things. There is not an easier way than to pass those parameters I'm afraid.
If you don't, any parameters that were previously set are unset for the existing phase unless you pass those in the update request.

Most unfortunate, but thank you for your help!
