Is this a bug?
No, the invoice preview will show you the upcoming invoice always

So if I increase the quantity from 10 to 11 and each seat costs $100, and I set a proration date of today, then it'll give me an upcoming invoice for today of $100. But if I keep the quantity at 10 and set the proration date of today, it gives me an upcoming invoice for next year of $1000. Why does it do that instead of showing me the invoice for today like I requested?

Yes that should be the case

small elm
#

So I should not expect it to heed the proration date I set?

#

Wondering why it would be a feature to ignore the given proration date

drowsy onyx
#

proration date is ignored if there is no change on the invoice ? If you want to reset the billing cycle to today then you should use another attribute ?

#

Why is the proration date ignored though? I would've expected the endpoint to error out and tell us we can't use proration without subscription changes if that's the case

#

The goal is to show the customer how much they will need to pay today

#

Currently we just send the info to that endpoint without checking if anything has actually changed. We were expecting Stripe to tell us $0 due today if nothing has changed. Instead it tells us the entirety of the next billing cycle is due today

The customer paid already for the current period... I'm not sure I understand the issue you are facing here

drowsy onyx
#

it just preview the upcoming invoices

small elm
#

but if we set the proration date to today, it just shows us how much they will have to pay today

drowsy onyx
#

No, proration day has effect when there is an update, sorry but I think we are turning around here 😅

small elm
#

Right, there should only be a prorated amount when there's a change. If there's no change, the amount should be 0, right?

#

Like why would the API even allow me to set a proration date if there is no change?

#

Shouldn't it tell me the proration date cannot be used if that's the case, instead of just silently ignoring it?

If there's no change, the amount should be 0, right?
No the invoice preview API returns next invoice.
