Have you consulted the API reference?
https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/create?lang=curl#create_subscription-billing_cycle_anchor_config
https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/create?lang=curl#create_subscription-billing_cycle_anchor

[abstract granite]

billing_cycle_anchor_config
only valid with monthly and yearly price intervals
Can specify charging time at the seconds level, right?

billing_cycle_anchor:
takes in the current UTC time
execute at start of the day. is it?

For 1: https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/create?lang=curl#create_subscription-billing_cycle_anchor_config-second
For 2: check https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time

billing_cycle_anchor_config - Once we set the date config, it works for intervals.

billing_cycle_anchor: We need to set the future UTC timestamp whenever the subscription has to be charged. Is this one time use? Once executed, what will be the billing date time for next billing?

[wet meteor]

For example if you set billing_cycle_anchor to 10 Nov 1:32PM and the billing interval is monthly, your customer will be billed at

• 10 Nov 1:32PM
• 10 Dec 1:32PM
• 10 Jan 2025 1:32PM

And so on

[abstract granite]

Then both billing_cycle_anchor_config & billing_cycle_anchor does the same. Only difference is the way we provide the input. Am I correct?

[wet meteor]

Yes you are right
