Hi 👋
Can you share an API request ID where you attempt to pass the from_subscription parameter? It will start with req_
Here's how you can find a request ID: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request

Oh sorry, I just saw your response!
so when I pass from_subscription it says that I cannot pass the start time or the phases. Iwant to switch the pricing to annual at the end of the billing period for this subscription so i need to be able to pass other parameters.
bright juniper
Ah, in that case you would need to create the Schedule from the subcription first and then update the phases array to schedule your switch.
If you just use the from_subscription parameter, that will return a Subscription Schedule with 1 phase, representing the current price & billing cycle.
You can then add a second phase that will start at the end of the current billing cycle that uses an annual price.
strange swan
ah ok and adding that second phase will be a second api call to update the schedule correct?
bright juniper
Correct
strange swan
Ok got it! i will try that and let you know if that worked. thank you so mnuch.
bright juniper
Sure thing, happy to help 🙂
Our doc on Subscription Schedules has this broken out nicely here: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules#managing
You would use the second code snippet in the Create section and then use the API to make the update.
strange swan
thank you!!
