What is the correct process for adding a subscription item to the existing subscription then getting an up to date invoice for both items
Do you have an example sub_xxx where you've tried this

This request? https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_pTtbISHBgomv2w

[sacred valley]

Yeah so that request added a subscription item to an existing subscription

The invoice on that subscriptions is draft

I would have expected this request to create an invoice with two subscription items since I referenced the existing subscription

You'd need to reset the billing anchor to now

[sacred valley]

Is that a subscription property

Sorry asking silly ones there found the property

So when I update the property do I create another invoice and pass in the subscriptionId

Or do I just reset the anchor and that will update the existing invoice?

[austere hawk]

Yes: https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-billing_cycle_anchor

[austere hawk]

The latter. It won't update the invoice, it'll issue a new invoice as of now with the 2 items

You can then void the old

[sacred valley]

Thank you for your help!

[austere hawk]

No problem, glad I could help!

[sacred valley]

@austere hawk when resetting the billing cycle is this going to prorate everything based on the initial creation date?

I'm seeing this sort of behaviour and wondered if its preventable

[austere hawk]

Potentially, but you can pass proration_behavior: 'none' in your update call

[sacred valley]

Perfect thats sorted everything i need there have a good day @austere hawk
