Hi! Looking into your question!
Can I have the object ID of the subscription you created? It starts with sub_
whole quest
this one sub_1SN2dSPPjTFS9ll0CnmtrEGZ
Actually, I just want to confirm whether my coupon will automatically stop after 2 months when using Duration=repeating along with DurationInMonths=2, and then revert to the original price.
dusty violet
Looking into that now.

Maybe like this：
To give you a pointer though, DurationInMonths configures how many months the Discount that will be created when that Coupon is redeemed will be valid for. If you have a Subscription with a billing period every day then this Discount would be valid for the first two full months of that Subscription and every single Invoice for the first 2 months will be discounted.

Can I check why are you using duration: repeating and duration_in_months: 2 because these are deprecated parameters?
whole quest
For example, if a subscription originally costs $10, I want to use a coupon to make the first two periods $8 each, allowing the subscriber to enjoy some discounts at the beginning.
Like this Note in SDK codes:
// Specifies how long the discount will be in effect if used on a subscription. Defaults to once.
Duration *string form:"duration"
// Required only if duration is repeating, in which case it must be a positive integer that specifies the number of months the discount will be in effect.
DurationInMonths *int64 form:"duration_in_months"

I would recommend not using these 2 parameters as they are deprecated:
- https://docs.stripe.com/api/coupons/create#create_coupon-duration:
This value is deprecated and will be replaced in future versions of the API. - https://docs.stripe.com/api/coupons/create#create_coupon-duration_in_months:
Deprecated
Can I confirm what you wish to achieve is:
- Monthly subscription
- Apply a discount for the first 2 months?
whole quest
YES，but maybe three months also

Looking into this for you. Give me a moment.
I would suggest looking at Subscription schedule instead. You can have phases for the number of months you wish to provide the discount for. And you can create a coupon with a non-deprecated parameter: duration: once
