hi, thanks for the swifty response!

Can you give me an example
lethal ice
And this is usage based billing?
leaden star
no, b/c i didn't see how i could bill immediately
this is not meant to change frequently, so i have it as quantities for our prices now
leaden star
let me add a drop more context
each "seat" is an account connected with an ecomerce platform
so if they disconnect one account, we want to lower the quantity for the next cycle
so it looks like subscription schedules would do that; i just want the schedule to make that one change and then immediately release
lethal ice
Gotcha
So yeah you still have to set the Subscription Schedule to run until the end of that first iteration
Then it will release
Really this is no different from it releasing immediately...
It just stays attached for that first billing period after the update
leaden star
ya, but there aren't webhooks for subscription schedule events
so i would have to do bookkeeping on the schedule
lethal ice
Hmm I'm not sure what you mean by that?
Having a Schedule doesn't prevent the underlying Subscription's Events from firing
leaden star
yes, that's true
lethal ice
If you want to release it immediately after the update then you can manually do that via https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscription_schedules/release
leaden star
right, but there's no specific webhook event which tells me when that is
unless i missed
it
lethal ice
You would do it based on customer.subscription.updated
The previous_attributes would indicate that you changed from quantity 3 --> 2
You also could set metadata if you so desired and check based on metadata.
Really though this is more complicated than it is worth imo
Just let the schedule release at the end of that first period after the update.
