OK so the guidance you got is correct. You can't do what you ask directly in the subscription update
The missing piece is creating the invoice item on the subscription (and customer) not a specific invoice
https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoiceitems/create#create_invoiceitem-subscription
it's then a pending item on that subscription
And you can then generate a one-off invoice for that subscritpion to invoice for pending items:
https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/create#create_invoice-subscription
So yes you would
1/ update the subscription with proration disabled
2/ create the invoice item on the subscription
3/ create the invoice for the subscription to collect "immediate" payment
4/ let the renewal happen for the different amount at normal cycle time

I think I follow, thanks very much. Hopefully won't get stuck again.

Oh I don't doubt your instructions, there's just always chance I'll get tripped up by one thing or another 😉 Thanks again 🙂
