yes, as i understand the pre-sets are weekly, monthly yearly?

For instance, you can set interval to week and interval_count to 2 for bi-weekly billing cycle.
calm pollen
and this works with metered billing too?
keen tiger
Yes
calm pollen
ok great thank you so much jack
keen tiger
No problem 🙂
calm pollen
jack one more thing
if i set the interval count to say, 2
will it automatically set the billing anchor to the same time as instructed for a 1 week billing, + 1 more week
as we are currently setting custom anchors
keen tiger
The recurring interval and billing cycle anchor are two different things here
- The recurring interval tells Stripe how frequent the recurring payment is
- The billing cycle anchor tells Stripe when to start the billing
calm pollen
right ok, so if i set the interval_count to 2. will stripe make a draft /void or anything like that for the 1 interval before the 2nd ?
just wondering how it internally counts to that interval_count 2 if that makes senes
sense

https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/upgrade-downgrade Stripe will attempt an immediate payment in this case. Let me walk you through an example here.
Like say you have a monthly subscription of USD 40
On the 1st week you want to change the interval to 2 weeks. so 4 weeks -> 2 weeks.
When the change happens, Stripe will perform a proration and charge your customer with the new plan immediately, the invoice will include
- The remaining 3 weeks of the old plan (-30 USD)
- The new plan (+20 USD)
= -10 USD will will be added to customer's credit balance.

sorry, i meant on creation
so when we set the interval, will it create a draft or void ? like this, say weekly and intrval count is 2
week 1 (draft), week 2 (invoice billed), week 3 (draft), week 4 (invoice billed)
or will this happen
week 2 (invoice billed), week 4 (invoice billed)
keen tiger
It'll be something like week 2 (invoice billed), week 4 (invoice billed)
