hi there, taking a look at this now

#

do you have an example request ID for updating the subscription?

#

if you're not already doing so, you can try setting proration_behavior to "none" on the update to avoid the user getting credited

#

ok

#

I'll try that

#

right now it is set to the 'always_invoice'

#

Here is an example request id for the sub update. req_WgXrDkiQjWxaPc

#

thanks, yeah I would try setting proration_behavior to none on that request and see if it gets you the results you want

hasty citrus Oct 7, 2025, 2:44 PM

#

I just tried that and no invoice was generated

#

req_nsqGvcdkiqPIMv

#

I want to create an invoice for the current state of the subscription

blissful quartz Oct 7, 2025, 2:47 PM

#

ok, so you want to invoice the customer immediately for the update, without taking the previous unpaid invoice into account. is cancelling the subscription and creating a new subscription for the customer an option?

hasty citrus Oct 7, 2025, 2:48 PM

#

Not ideally. Is there another way to avoid the customer being credited for the initial unpaid invoice?

blissful quartz Oct 7, 2025, 2:52 PM

#

one moment while I look into that

#

ok, in addition to proration_behavior: none, try also setting billing_cycle_anchor: now on the update. that ought to generate a new invoice

hasty citrus Oct 7, 2025, 3:00 PM

#

ok

#

trying that ow

#

now

#

ok

#

that works!

#

Thank you

#

excellent! do make sure you void the previous invoice when you do this, just to make sure the customer doesn't come back and pay the old invoice
