Hi there
crimson mesa
hmmm actually this code doesn't work how i expect either
wheat zephyr
No, there isn't a built in time function that's specific to the Stripe library
crimson mesa
like ideally a 1 month trial starting on jan 31st would end the trial on feb 28th
wheat zephyr
Got it, you'll need to calculate this yourself and pass it as a timestamp value for trial_end or use trial_period_days
crimson mesa
hmmmmm
i guess then if they start a trial on jan 31st
and i want to give them 1 free month
there is no way for their billing anchor to be the 31st of the month?
wheat zephyr
Have you looked at using billing_cycle_anchor ?https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/billing-cycle
crimson mesa
hmmm not sure that would solve it but it's okay, we switched to using 30 days for a free trial
I have a different question about the subscription creation endpoint
if I specify a discount, then the customer's discount will not be applied. Is there a way to prevent the customer's discount from being applied even if I don't specify a discount?

hi there! 👋 taking over for my colleague
If you're creating a Subscription for a Customer that has a coupon on the Customer and you don't want that coupon to be used, then you would need to remove the coupon from the Customer via an update: https://docs.stripe.com/api/customers/update#update_customer-coupon
