heyo 🙂
I know that once I have the SubscriptionSchedule, I would send a modify call with both items listed as the first phase that ends on the billing date..but what is the end_date of the second phase, which only contains "Foo"?

After generating the Subscription Schedule with both prices you should update them to have an additional phase with ONLY the "foo" price.
So you'd end up with:
- An initial phase for one year with both prices
- A phase after that, with only the "foo" price. The end_date could be whatever you want as long as your schedule is set to "Release" after it's over.
Once the Schedule has been released after the second phase is over itll just continue in that configuration

Ah, gotcha. More generally, since what I'm trying to do is implement somethng similar to "cancel_at_period_end" option for SubscriptionItems, would I just have my initial phase be all prices associated with the subscription and then the phase after that would contain all prices except the one that I'm trying to "cancel_at_period_end"? And instead of specifying end_date, I suppose I could just do iterations=1?

Yup!
south crater
cool cool, thanks!
If I schedule is created for a Subscription and then released, will that SubscriptionSchedule ID still be valid, or would I need to run another from_subscription call?
tropic nebula
You'd need to run another from_subscription call
south crater
should be good for now, thanks!

Would I want my end_date of the first phase (that has all items) to be EQUAL to the billing date? or, e.g., one day less? I wouldn't want them to be billed for one day of the things they were trying to cancel, if that makes sense
tropic nebula
If you created the Subscription Schedule using from_subscription, I believe we default to setting the first phase to be the length of one billing cycle. If the end_date is exactly the same as the billing cycle date, then they should only be seeing both items billed for in the first cycle

Yeah, that tracks with what I've seen. Thanks 🙂
