Heyo, hope you're doing well 🙂

Okay so you're looking to remove a subscription item at the end of a billing cycle? Is that what you're thinking?

#

I think you would just need to update the Subscription to not include that item.

#

yeah

#

Gotcha

#

Am I correct in thinking that SubscriptionItems don't have a status field like Subscriptions do? (that can tell me that the subscription will cancel at the next billing date)

#

No, but you can append metadata to each subscription item.

#

#

That could be useful to keep track of when to stop providing the service the user has subscribed to.

#

oh, nice good thinking. Thanks!

It doesn't do anything "auto-magically" but sometimes just having a way to keep track of stuff is really useful

yeah, agreed. Sounds good. So do I need to worry about prorating if I'm just removing a SubscriptionItem from a Subscription?
