yeah the error is accurate
end date needs to be within an item
items is within phases
end date is within items
soft orchid
I need get sheduled item end set it?
lucid orbit
What are you trying to do here?
Oh sorry
I'm wrong actually
Ok I know what's happening
EndDate is in the correct place in your code. However, when you make an update request to update a subscriptions schedule, we require that you pass all existing phases within items
That's called out here: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules#updating
soft orchid
where i can find priceID?
lucid orbit
If you retrieve the schedule you're trying to update first, you can see its current items: https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscription_schedules/retrieve
And price, etc
lucid orbit
The error message is telling you what's wrong
You're changing something in the first phase
Which has already ended
So you can't make updates to it
soft orchid
Mmm for change current period end date a i need add new phase?
lucid orbit
You do not
Can you share the subscription schedule id that you're trying to update so I can see what you're doing wrong?
soft orchid
yeap, work for now , got sucess response, but nothing change
current period end date same Feb 23
lucid orbit
I see it updated as april
from my end
Try retrieving the schedule via the api and see if its end_date is reflected properly
We don't know much about the dashboard in here
lucid orbit
I'm assuming that's your local timezone
Should be 2025-04-30 21:00:00 +0000 utc
which is what you passed in the request
ie 1746046800
soft orchid
aha ok, but current end date in subscription is 2/23/2025 is ok?
lucid orbit
It's a monthly subscription
So you'll receive the next invoice on 2/23
Then 3/23 then 4/23
Then your subscription schedule's phase ends 4/30
soft orchid
hm, I can't change next invoice date?
I want prolong player sub by reward from game, is it possible in stripe?
lucid orbit
Can you explain in detail what you're trying to acheive
I'm confused what you want
You have a subscriptoin that bills monthly right now
soft orchid
Ok, Player buy sub for 1 month, for example from today 1/24/2025 to 2/24/2025 In game he won 1 week subscription, I want to change current sub in stripe to 1/24/2025 to 2/31/2025 (2/24/2025 + 1 week )
is it possible?
and next charge date for user will be not 2/24/2025 but 2/31/2025
lucid orbit
February only has 28 days
But the goal is to give the customer 1 week free and shift the billing date of the subscription?
lucid orbit
And then what date do you want subsequent invoices to bill on?
That shifted date
or back to the original date
lucid orbit
Say the first invoice is March 1, then the customer gets 1 week free so next invoice is the April 8th. Do you want next invoices to be billed May 8th, June 8th, etc, or back to 1st of the month billing?
soft orchid
best example I want change this date +1 week
lucid orbit
Just answer my question please
Say the first invoice is March 1, then the customer gets 1 week free so next invoice is the April 8th. Do you want next invoices to be billed May 8th, June 8th, etc, or back to 1st of the month billing?
soft orchid
next invoices to be billed May 8th this one
lucid orbit
Ah ok
So this is possible via adding a new phase to the subscription schedule that starts May 8
And giving a discount/credit for the invoice that will be generated May 1
soft orchid
can U give me example ? it need create new shedule phase?
lucid orbit
yeah
soft orchid
And for this phase start date should be end date of previous phase?
lucid orbit
So I recommend creating an invoice item: https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoiceitems/create with a negative amount. That will be pulled in as a discount/credit onto the next invoice for the customer. That way you can discount the May 1 invoice to 0. Then, set the current phase to end May 8. Create a new phase that will start May 8 with the same price. That resets billing cycle to bill on the 8th of every month
soft orchid
wow)) to hard)
lucid orbit
Yeah well what you want is not a common use case
lucid orbit
Yeah
Actually there's 1 other way you can do this
That you might prefer
You can do this via a trial period ending on May 8th
That actually i think will be way easier for you
soft orchid
I think about it) but how we separate real trial period from not real))
lucid orbit
You would need to do that in your application
That's up to you
But trial is probably the easiest way to give a week free and also reset the billing date
