hi! you can't really.
https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/upgrade-downgrade#immediate-payment
Stripe immediately attempts payment for these subscription changes:
...
- From a subscription that doesn’t require payment (for example, due to a trial or free subscription) to a paid subscription
one option might be to attach a 100%, one-time coupon to the subscription before making the change. Then the generated invoice will be discounted to $0.

Thank you for your response.
I will check by applying a 100% coupon.
Is it possible to confirm through webhook parameters that the invoice was created automatically?
cosmic ingot
it should be, but can you explain in more detail what precisely you're attempting to confirm?

When a subscription is changed from a subscription that does not require payment to a paid subscription, an invoice would be created and a "payment_succeeded" event would fly in the webhook if the payment is successful.
In my service, when we receive a "payment_succeeded" event, we change the charges and send emails to users. Additionally, we sometimes link paid subscription items to a zero-cost subscription. In these cases, I do not want to update the billing cycle.
cosmic ingot
you should check things like the amount_paid and billing_reason on the Invoice I would say, before deciding to take actions.

Thank you for providing an answer to my question.
I will verify using the method you suggested.
