Hi
Furthermore, (i have not tested this) if a subscription is charged weekly, will only the first 2 invoices be 50% off.
Yes only the 2 invoices will be applied
I want for example give 50% off for 2 months for my subscription
Then you need to use a monthly subscription and not annual or weekly ones

What about if I wanted to extend a free trial period for customers that are on an annual subscription. For context, I currently have a default 2 months free trial, after which customers will begin to be billed annually. Is there a way to extend the 2 months free trial period through the coupon system and make it, for example, a 5 month free trial period, after which the annual subscription will begin to be billed?

You can udpate the Susbcription and extend the trial yes

yes i am aware of the trial end parameter on the subscription. i was just wondering if i would be able to extend that through the coupon system using a 100% off for 2 months etc
but it seems like for an subscription with an interval that isn't months, that isn't working
i think the naming of the duration_months is quite misleading. i think its more linked to the number of invoices so duration_invoices is probably more appropriate

not really, to be clear, that is not how coupons work. What you likely expect is a coupon set to a 3 months duration, used on a Subscription to a $120 yearly Price, that then the Price will be discounted for only 3 months out of the year. But that isn't how it works.
the way coupons actually work is they simply apply to an individual Invoice’s subtotal that is created while the Coupon (or Discount) is valid. If you create a 30% off Coupon with duration_in_months: 3 it means that this Coupon will apply to any invoice created on that Customer in the next 3 months and then it will disappear.
duration just means the time the coupon remains valid, and while it's valid, it applies to any invoices generated during that time(and if none are generated, applies to nothing)
