I can provide a bit more context.
Basically I'm trying to simulate this subscription having previously failed invoices: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/subscriptions/sub_1LAEiwI67GP2qpb48YzGipXz
But because the card gets declined (which i intended to happen, I'm trying to test charging old unpaid invoices when a payment method changes)
https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_i3umbqADuzXs67 I get a 402, and the adjustment of the anchor doesn't take effect

Gotcha. Looking..

If I manually create an invoice through the Stripe dashboard, the desired result happens - the invoice is created, but the payment fails. However, I cannot attribute that invoice to the subscription

Hi 👋 I'm stepping in for @primal valve gimme a sec to get caught up
Okay so you want to test the charging of unpaid invoices when a PM changes? I don't think changing the billing_cycle_anchor is the way to go here.

I'm just trying to generate some unpaid invoices for a subscription

In that case what I would recommend is to create a subscription with a successful PM. Update the PM to one of our Test cards that will fail. Then use Test clocks to step time forward and go through the normal subscription -> invoice behavior.

Can I move an existing subscription/customer combo into a test clock simulation?

You can’t choose existing customers during test clock simulations. You can add up to three new customers to each simulation.
