Could you share the scenario / example which you expect the proration to happen? In both requests, all I can see is just subscription deletion and creation, and I'm not too sure what is the expected behavior you're looking for
west scroll
yes so Im trying to create this flow:
- Trial for customer ends
- I cancel it
- In the app we wait for the user to click our internal button "Want to continue?"
- I create new susbcription
- It immediately creates invoice to be paid for 7 days
that way I dont generate invoices always, bc in my country invoices left blank are still taxed by gov. I already talked about it with stripe support and its only way to do it
today is 19th of December and I expect on creating this new subscription to be issued invoice for covering costs up to the 1 of January
but sadly I cant do it, the subscripiton is created and already paid

- Trial for customer ends
- I cancel it
Do you create anything in Step 1? What are you trying to cancel in Step 2?

I don't really understand what this part means. You want to start a subscription today, but only issue an invoice on 1/1?
west scroll
in step 1 I merely notice in the app that subscription trial ends
in step 2 I cancel this subscription

not exactly. Suppose the subscription costs 300 USD. Up to the 1/1 you have approximetly 33% of full month so I want to issue invoice covering 100 USD

in step 2 I cancel this subscription
Why do you do that? FWIW, you can set it to auto cancel: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/trials#create-free-trials-without-payment

I cant do that
bc you dont provide that option for the subscription with collectionmethod='send_invoice'

Sure, should be possible if you fix the billing anchor to 1/1 on creation. It'll prorate by default: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/billing-cycle#new-subscriptions
west scroll
but im setting it in the creation of this new subscription
customer=subscription_info.stripe_customer_id,
collection_method="send_invoice",
billing_cycle_anchor_config={"day_of_month": 1},
days_until_due=7,
items=[{"price": default_subscription.stripe_price_id}],
)```If you want to immediately include those prorations on the new invoice, pass proration_behavior: 'always_invoice': https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-proration_behavior

Ah, it's because the Customer you're passing is associated to a test clock that is frozen at 2/1
west scroll
ohh ok
autumn quartz
So it is prorating, hence the 270 invoice, but until 1/2
west scroll
pardon me for that, didn't noticed
