Hi! Can I confirm you are referring to setting an updated billing cycle anchor?

sleek urchin Jul 15, 2025, 12:25 AM

#

yes

hardy stag Jul 15, 2025, 12:30 AM

#

There are 2 ways you can change that. One is using trial [0] and the other is using the subscription schedule [1]. Have you attempted either?

#

i am testing this way

#

#

could be related to api version?

#

i am using the old one

hardy stag Jul 15, 2025, 1:28 AM

#

I am not seeing a request to update the subscription.

#

Have you made an API call?

sleek urchin Jul 15, 2025, 1:52 AM

#

no, i am using the stripe sdk nodejs

hardy stag Jul 15, 2025, 1:57 AM

#

But I am not seeing any attempts to update the subscription with a trial. You will need to make the API call for that. Have you made the call yet?

sleek urchin Jul 15, 2025, 2:41 AM

#

could be the version of my package? i am using "stripe": "^13.5.0",

hardy stag Jul 15, 2025, 2:44 AM

#

I don't think so. But have you made the API call yet? Or where are you seeing the error?

sleek urchin Jul 15, 2025, 2:45 AM

#

i am using nodejs package

#

not api

#

i will try using the APi

#

#

#
