@vast ledge it's anchored to the second, so if billing_cycle_anchor is 1636020806 then the next payment is at Dec 4th 2021 10:13:26 as well(for a monthly subscription)

#

at that time we do the process of https://stripe.com/docs/billing/invoices/subscription#subscription-renewal to create a new invoice and attempt payment an hour later

#

the actual invoice creation time might drift a little bit(since it depends on load on our system) but usually only a few minutes

#

it can shift day in some cases(like if you anchor to February 29th then in non-leap years that gets shifted to Feb 28th instead) but that's the overall idea

ok thanks, and since billing_cycle_anchor is naming anchored i guess it will indeed not be updated

I think it doesn't change each cycle yes

#

current_period_end and current_period_start do, and they're based on the anchor, but the anchor itself wouldn't change
