Hi 👋 there isn't a way to be notified about a Subscription getting ready to move to a new billing period (aside from invoice.upcoming).
You can listen for invoice.created that is triggered when the Subscription moves to the new billing and creates a draft Invoice, but I don't think you'll be able to make the changes you want to that draft Invoice (though I may be mistaken or that may depend on how exactly you structured your Subscriptions). You would need to add logic to make sure you filter out the first Invoice for a Subscription too.
The other thing that is coming to mind is to use a Subscription Schedule to schedule the change you're describing to happen when the Subscription moves to the next billing period, and then you can remove that Subscription Schedule if you hear from your customer in time.

Any time! I dropped a link to the use case that I think most closely matches the flow you'll need to use as a starting point.

Sure
remote pumice
this is a new feature to affect existing customers, so I will need to create this sub schedule for 1000+ active subscriptions. I guess I just have to write a script for this?
does stripe rate limit / thorttle requests?
keen frigate
Yeah, a script would be the way to go, and there are rate limits to be wary of. We discuss those in more detail here:
https://docs.stripe.com/rate-limits
You can typically make 100 requests per second, though that doc does a better job of breaking down those limits.
