#wasabi - upgrade proration
quick rock
hey there, this depends on the details of the upgrade. By default the prorations will apply to the next invoice, but you can opt in to an immediate invoice and there are some scenarios (such as switching from monthly to annual payment) where an immediate invoice is required. Read more here:

@quick rock thank you for the clarification. By default, what is the proration behavior? -- refund for unsused time on more expensive plan. Charge for remaining time on new plan on next billing period's invoice?
Is there any changes to the billing anchor?
quick rock
Only if you reset the billing anchor yourself, or hit one of the conditions that forces it. Otherwise no.
ANd yes, the credit/charge would appear for the time remaining on the next invoice
This doc shows the ways you can manipulate the billing cycle anchor
honest ibex
thank you!
In the case, where it change from annual to monthly plan, does the billing anchor change to current date?
quick rock
Yes:
For example, switching a customer from one monthly subscription to another does not change the billing dates. However, switching a customer from a monthly subscription to a yearly subscription moves the billing date to the date of the switch.
