if (mode == "subscription")
{
// Add the one-time subscription setup fee line item
options.LineItems.Add(new SessionLineItemOptions
{
Price = "price_1QWxOQEFI0S2QMkfME4j1MR6", // Setup fee price ID
Quantity = 1,
});

            // Determine the first billing date
            if (DateTime.TryParse(model.StartAt, out DateTime startAtDate))
            {
                // Calculate the first billing date based on the StartAt date
                var firstBillingDate = startAtDate.AddHours(-24); 


                options.SubscriptionData = new SessionSubscriptionDataOptions
                    {
                        Metadata = new Dictionary<string, string>
                        {
                            { "SquareBookingId", model.SquareBookingId }, 
                            { "ServiceType", model.ServiceType }    
                        },
                        TrialEnd = firstBillingDate, 
                    };


            }
            else
            {
                throw new ArgumentException("StartAt date is invalid.", nameof(model.StartAt));
            }
        }

this is working, but it essentially means customers can only make subscriptions starting >72 hours from now (trial end must be 48 hours in the future + my business logic of billing occurring 24 hours before i want the subscription to actually start)

Checkout Session doesn't support creating the subscription in the future date. This can only be done with Subscription Schedule API which allows scheduling a subscription to start in future. I'd recommend checking these guides:

• Subscription Schedule: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules
• Start subscription in the future using Subscription Schedule: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules/use-cases#start-subscription-future
• Including billing cycle anchor: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules/use-cases#resetting-anchor
