Hi there 👋 jumping in as my teammate needed to step away. The last Invoice was prorated because the Subscription was scheduled to cancel before the end of it's billing period. Since the Subscription ended early the amount charged for the last billing period was prorated to account for that.

That's still a difference
You need to be second-precise with when you set cancel_at if you want to avoid prorations

$keys=env('STRIPE_SECRET');
$stripe = new \Stripe\StripeClient($this->DecKeys());
$subscription=$stripe->subscriptions->update(
$payment->subscription_id,
['cancel_at' => $stop_at]
);
this is my API that i am using
what is second-precise?
small axle
The timestamp you provide for the cancel_at parameter needs to be the same as the end time of the billing period, and those need to match down to the second (not to the day).
Are you scheduling these Subscriptions to cancel while they're in their final billing period?

we have use case
for example if today i am going to cancel subscription so we are adding 1 month notice
so this full month and next full month cancel date according to today is 30 November 2024
small axle
What time on Nov 30th you set it to cancel is important
You're providing a second-precise timestamp, not just a date.
grim plover
so we need to prive date + time
small axle
Yes. You're already providing a timestamp, you just need to better align it to when the billing period will naturally end.
grim plover
so if subscription star time is 1st October 2024 : 13:50 then end date shoud 1st November 2024 : 13:50
small axle
Correct, but you need to go down to the second, those times seem to only go down to the minute.
