You can update a Subscription Schedule without releasing it - https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscription_schedules/update
I am wondering if I should also use a schedule for the second state for recurring customers so I can use the same logic.
It depends on if you want to schedule the upgrade or just apply the upgrade immediately.
If latter, then you don't need a schedule as you can just call the update subscription API directly

Yeah I want to upgrade it immediately
How would I apply it for the state 1. Would I release first and then do the same as in state 2?

We have a guide here that shows how you can update the schedule - https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules#updating
proven sandal
Yeah I am just wondering how I retain the same behavior as in updating the subscription directly
E.g. proration behavior
I suppose I just add this key to the phase that I'm adding and it will be the same?
shut arrow
Yup, I'd recommend testing it out in test mode as that would clear things up
proven sandal
But there is nothing bad if I decide to just create a schedule for option 2, correct? Just searching for a way to do less conditional logic
shut arrow
Subscription Schedules are used for scheduling updates versus immediate updates. There's no way to immediately trigger an update with a schedule unless you update the current phase to end and next phase to start for a particular timestamp.
Managing phases imo is a bit more tedious than immediately updating the subscription directly - https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/upgrade-downgrade
proven sandal
Yeah that's why I was wondering it it might be easier to just release the subscription from the schedule (it will always be the second phase) and then update it directly as the state 2
But I'll experiment around a little bit. Thank you 🙏

NP! 🙂 Good luck
