Hello
If you're trying to update the subscription at period end, you should use Subscription Schedules API - https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules

And it's fine if the subscription is updated with the price of a different product?

#

Also, what happens if we update the subscriptions before the end of the current period?

I think that should be okay as long as you've notified your customers of the new price/price change (prevent dispute)

Also, what happens if we update the subscriptions before the end of the current period?
If you update the subscription immediately, you'd need to decide how you want the proration to work. Like give customer credits for the time they've already paid or disable proration & charge the full new price..
