Once the first invoice is paid, i want to update the cycle anchor.
But the 2nd invoice is created right after, i dont want it to happen
jade karma
@dire hamlet that's just impossible. If you reset the billing cycle it immediately creates the new Invoice because it starts a new billing schedule.
My take is that the way you are using our Subscription product is incorrect if you are creating a Subscription now but it doesn't really start until after the payment really happens

okay, can i do anything on this
my requirement is to start the subscription only when the first invoice is paid and the card is attached
jade karma
That's honestly not really something we support. Not unless you accept the payment immediately upfront. Like why did it take 5 days to get that Invoice paid?
dire hamlet
Yeah this case can always be there, our client may take 1-2 weeks before he pays the invoice.
We just wanted for him to be fair if he pays late, then he would only have remaining days left until he pays again.
I guess we would have to ask customer to attach the card upfront before starting the subscription
jade karma
yes that would be one way. Get them on your app/website and only start the Subscription when they are ready to pay. Don't issue/create an Invoice upfront.
Otherwise maybe look at our Quotes API: https://docs.stripe.com/quotes
