@lofty shuttle what you describe is definitely expected. When you move from a "free" Price to a "paid" Price, we immediately reset the billing cycle, see https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/upgrade-downgrade#immediate-payment

ah interesting (also think you meant the direct header https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/upgrade-downgrade#handling-zero-amount-prices-and-quantities) did not realize that is expected in stripe
how would I request an invoice from the upgrade date to the first on my new subscription?
nocturne nymph
The header I gave works too right?
From a subscription that doesn’t require payment (for example, due to a trial or free subscription) to a paid subscription
that's the first bullet point under the header I linked
I don't really get your last question

right but the header you gave doesn't mention the billing cycle changes
nocturne nymph
gotcha

I don't really get your last question
I mean if I want to preview an invoice, and prorate it from today to the first of the next month (billing cycle of the 1st) how could I do that if my current sub is a 0 price but the new sub will be a paid one
assuming I need a param or something
nocturne nymph
It's impossible to prorate. We always reset the billing cycle
lofty shuttle
but I could fake it with a cancel and new subscription right
just curious how you would handle the preview
nocturne nymph
yeah I guess but that'd be really weird and mess up your MRR for example.
It's not really possible to do what you're after in our API. You can't preview an Invoice for a different/new Subscription if you already have an existing one on the Customer so I'm not sure there's a way other than a hack.
but if "a hack" is fine, you could use a new Customer, just to preview the Invoice and you'd set subscription_billing_cycle_anchor to whatever the current period end of your Subscription is I think
My advice is to not do any of that. Do what we do: reset the billing cycle
lofty shuttle
interesting, thanks for the tips, unfortunately im not the decision maker here, but I'll bring it up!
