So that works but it's definitely not the best option since it will hurt your metrics

#

You likely want to use SubscriptionSchedules instead. That allows you to defer the Price change to the end of the current period: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules

Ok. I was unaware of this. Thank you. I think I get the gist. I would need to add a subscriptionSchedule to the existing subscription with an end date of the current billing cycle end and then have a follow on phase defined to transition to?

correct

#

you can try all of this in Test mode

I think this is going to work well. When it transitions to the next phase, the current payment method and everything remains, correct? What do you recommend for an end_date considering that the next phase is somewhat indefinite?

#

it's not indefinite, you know the next phase since you do it for every subscription and not the sub's current period end

#

When the schedule phase ends, the subscription stays in place, it just no longer has the schedule, right?

#

So, if I currently have a customer who's billing period ends on the 15th to the new pricing with a billing period that also ends on the 15th, the first phase gets added by creating a schedule with the from_subscription attribute set so that the first phase is grabbed from the subscription attributes, correct? And then a second phase is added, probably with a start date equal to the end date from the first phase and an end date equal to ?

#

Hopefully that makes sense
