I'd recommend using Subscription Schedules for this use-case

#

as cancel_at will always prorate

#

Yeah, but we don't have the time or resources to rewrite our code right now.

#

Perhaps the cancel_at date should be set days before the next charge date…
So if it’s a 2 week interval and there’s supposed to be 3 installments we set the cancel_at date to be BEFORE the 4th charge, so technically it never happens but we make sure charges 1,2 and 3 did happen.

#

Maybe setting proration_behavior to 'none', that might work. Possibly use in conjunction billing_cycle_anchor?

Hmm I'd recommend trying it out in test mode to be honest as I haven't tried this flow personally. I'd test it myself but server is a little busy at the moment.
As far as I know cancel_at will always cause proration to happen regardless of proration_behavior due to the way its built
