hello! To make sure i'm understanding things correctly, at the end of all the subscription schedule phases, you want to cancel the subscription?
lunar vortex
no, we want to prevent the schedule from advancing into further phases
in our case, we have a subscription schedule where the first phase has a 11 month interval, and the second phase has a a yearly interval
(we use this so that we can bill the user 1 month before the "yearly" mark)
but we want to bill a "renew" toggle
right now, it seems like if the user sets to not renew, we will have to release it from the schedule and then set the subscription to not renew
but then if they toggle renew back on, we will have to rebuild the schedule
which is brittle
runic lintel
i see....hmm, there isn't really a better way unfortunately than what you essentially described I'm afraid. The only thing I can suggest here is to make sure you save the original schedule in your DB so that it's easy to (re)update the subscription schedule, but you're probably currently already doing that
lunar vortex
ahh yeah okay, we'll go with that approach then
runic lintel
to add a bit more detail though - if the user toggles to not renew, I would update the subscription schedule to remove phase 2 and then release at phase 1. Subsequently, if the user toggles (renews) again, then update the subscription schedule back to what it originally was
lunar vortex
ahhh yeah, i think i'll go with that
will make it easier than creating new schedules
it's okay to have a subscription schedule with just a single phase?
runic lintel
yep, that's totally fine. As usual though, I definitely recommend testing things out throughly to make sure everything works as per what you expect. in case you haven't seen this yet, you can use test clocks to mimic the passing of time : https://stripe.com/docs/billing/testing/test-clocks

ah awesome, will do
