hi there!
we explain how to update the billing cycle of existing subscription here: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/billing-cycle#changing
you basically have two options: create a free trial, or use billing_cycle_anchor: 'now'

My question: If I update billing_cycle_anchor when the subscription resumes from a pause, will it:
- Generate an immediate invoice? - Create credits or prorations?
- Or will it just update the cycle without any charges (with proration_behavior: 'none')?
I want the subscription to restart at full price on the new billing cycle without any credits or immediate charges.
Context: Yearly subscription paid Jan 1st, customer gets 3 free months in June, pause until April 1st (next year), then I want billing to restart from April 1st for the next year.
Thanks!

for this types of question, I recommend testing this yourself. which you can easily do using Test Cloks: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/testing/test-clocks
blissful sundial
which webhook notifies the end of resume_at on pause_collection?
gritty sluice
I think you should receive an customer.subscription.updated
blissful sundial
customer.subscription.resumed ?
gritty sluice
Only applies when a status=paused subscription is resumed, not when payment collection is resumed.
does your Subscription has status=paused?
blissful sundial
not only fundraising with pause_collection.behaviour.void
gritty sluice
if not, then you should listen to customer.subscription.updated
blissful sundial
ok but how will customer.subscription.updated tell me that resume_at is finished? will it just take away pause_collection for me? so compared to another subscription update, how do I spot it?
gritty sluice
in all *.updated events, you get a previous_attributes object so you can see exactly what changed. https://docs.stripe.com/api/events/object#event_object-data-previous_attributes
again, I would recommend you to test this in test mode to see exactly how that works.
blissful sundial
ok thanks
