You'd need to use a trial: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/billing-cycle#add-a-trial-to-change-the-billing-cycle
But, overall, the timestamps in our API are UTC so no DST applies. The only place you'll see DST is in the Dashboard, where the timestamps are localised

Ok. How and where do I apply a trial period of one hour?

The doc outlines that – you'd use the trial_end param and pass a unix timestamp that correlates to the time you want the new anchor fixed to
But as I said, the period will still be fixed to the original UTC timestamp you used. The only place it appears to have changed is in the Dashboard
If you do this now, you're going to have the same issue in March when DST starts again

So, as an example, I should put trial_end of Nov 15, 4:00 AM timestamp to update this subscription sub_1QGIabHCPH5IrTb7U9bSNgFC, so the next invoice will be created at this exact time.

Well that request for generate a new invoice immediately for $0 to reflect the 'trial', then at the trial_end timestamp a new invoice will be generated for the next paid period
