Hi, let me help you with this.

(1) The easiest way then is to use trial_end date set to 1st of March. Then you won't even need to set billing_cycle_anchor explicitly - it will be set to the 1st of March.

(2) It will be charged in March.

Thanks. I can't set the free trial to be 1st March because then if someone subscribes in May they would miss the September payment.

I guess I could use some logic on our side to set the free trial to be either 1st March or 1st September depending on how far into the year we are

Yes, that's what you need to do.
