Hi there 👋 I'm taking a closer look at the request you shared.

Thankyou Toby

The problem that the error is trying to explain, is that the value you've provided for subscription_proration_date is outside of the range of the Subscription's current billing period.
The value you provide for subscription_proration_date should be within the Subscription's current billing period, otherwise it doesn't make sense to include that parameter.
Currently you're setting the proration date to a timestamp before the Subscription's current billing period, mean the Subscription would have been prorated in a previous billing period, which isn't supported.
Similarly the proration date can't be after the current billing period, because then the next upcoming invoice would be the Invoice that is generated when the Subscription naturally cycles to the next billing period.
You will want to adjust the value you're providing for the proration date in this request to be within the current billing period.

So we by default are passing todays' date when trying to preview an invoice

It looks like you passed the current date when you made that request, but not the current time.
You passed a timestamp about 4 minutes in the past when making the request, and the Subscription's billing period at that point had started about 2 minutes in the past.

What do you suggest? Should I send subscription start date?
elder quail
I don't know. I'm not sure what timestamp you're trying to use for proration calculations in this scenario, that's something you would tell us.
Are you intending to try to calculate prorations on the upcoming invoice?
river temple
Yes, when we are making any changes to the subscription we want a preview of the upcoming invoice
