👋 Hi there! Let me take a look
Yeah, as you mentioned, updating a Subscription directly just allows to reset to the current time: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/billing-cycle#reset-the-billing-period-to-the-current-time
But you may be able to model what you need using Subscription Schedules, by altering the duration of the current billing phase by +/- two days: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules

Actually we use both, subscriptions when its only one infinite phase and schedules when we have different phases but, for existing normal subscriptions which don't have a schedule attached, I think adding a schedule will be more complicated.
If I change the billing anchor to 'now', will not work if I want to postpone the charging 2 days more :/

Understood. Though attaching a Schedule for making a change like this shouldn't add too much complication. If it has a phase to set up the modified billing period, and then after that the subscription continues forever, you can use end_behavior: release to then detach from the schedule again: https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscription_schedules/create#create_subscription_schedule-end_behavior

oh thanks. It was not complicated - I just did it :). Thanks for the tip
