Hi 👋 then I would suggest not canceling the existing Subscription. Instead update it to use the new price. When do you want the customer to be charged the prorated amount for the new Price?
It sounds like immediately, so you likely want to update the Price the Subscription is using, and in that update request also set billing_cycle_anchor to 'now'
https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-billing_cycle_anchor
and proration_behavior to create_prorations.

How does it works with billing period ?

Can you elaborate? I don't understand what you're trying to ask there.

Even if it's different product catalog pricing, does it work.
Lets say, I have created Two products and each has it's own pricing like Basic and Pro plan.

So each Product has its own Price object?

Altogether we have 2 products and 2 pricings for each of them
Yes
Product1Price1 has existing subscription, but they want to switch to Product2Price2. I want to add that prorated cost to new subscirption payment

Updating the Subscription is the way I would suggest handling that:
