Hi there!
What do you mean by "with previous date billing cycle"?
If you want to backdate a subscription, this is covered here: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/backdating
calm merlin
without backdating subs like if i want to start my cycle from jun - 5 then my cycle is
jun-5 to july -5
though today is 29-jun

So if you create a subscription today, what cycle would you like to see?
calm merlin
its june 29 to july 29
thats true
but what if i want to create it from 27 jun
with back_dating
acoustic snow
but what if i want to create it from 27 jun
In that case, what do you want the cycle to be?
calm merlin
27 jun to 27 july

Got it! You could do so by using both backdate_start_date and billing_cycle_anchor as explained here: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/backdating#backdating-billing-cycle

then it cost me days
like if my subscription is of 1499
then it costs me 1,548.97
when selected back date is may 29 over today

and what would you want instead of that?
ultimately we just don't have a way to backdate a subscription that also does not generate proration
the only option is backdate_start_date and that feature was explicitly designed to add prorated charges , it only exists to fulfill that use case
calm merlin
what is prorated charges
stiff olive
like if my subscription is of 1499
then it costs me 1,548.97
it's what you're describing here
i.e. the proportional cost of the days between today and the backdate day on the pricing plan

I don't understand the question I'm afraid
calm merlin
I mean i need to dates which charge only 1499
without backdate is it allow in stripe

sorry but I can't understand you
"I mean i need to dates which charge only 1499" is not really a sentence I'm able to parse, can you explain in more words/detail?
calm merlin
I mean though i m selecting previous dates
say for example 29-may to 29-jun
then user must charge 1499
instead of
charging 1499/30 = 49
stripe charging 1499+49 = 1549
But i want to make this charge 1499 for period 29 to 29 jun
if i subscribed today with backdate

But i want to make this charge 1499 for period 29 to 29 jun
if i subscribed today with backdate
but that doesn't sound backdated then right?
