Hi there 👋 does this error persist if you use a newer version of our Python library?

distant dragon Jul 11, 2022, 1:48 PM

#

Thanks Toby
Well ... upgrade library is always a workload.
Your recomendation is then upgrade version only?

#

I have a follow up question:
I would also like to modify the end of subscription datetime
How is that archieved?

#

I'm not sure whether updating versions is the right approach, but I was trying to get a feel for what troubleshooting you'd done.

#

In the code above, subscription_id is holding a string, correct?

distant dragon Jul 11, 2022, 1:54 PM

#

yes

You might want to check that again. I am getting your exact error when I pass a non-string in for the subscription ID but passing in an incorrect string gets a different error.

distant dragon Jul 11, 2022, 2:31 PM

#

ok, will double check, thanks for your support.

I would also like to modify the end of subscription datetime
How is that archieved?

sterile carbon Jul 11, 2022, 2:36 PM

#

Can you explain what you mean by "the end of subscription datetime" here? What subscription timestamp are you looking to change?

distant dragon Jul 11, 2022, 2:37 PM

#

Yes I am modifying a subscription, but with that change I will also want to modify when that subscription is autorenewed

sterile carbon Jul 11, 2022, 2:40 PM

#

The billing cycle anchor is the way to do that. You are trying to modify the correct value here. The subscription renews the same day of every month

#

So if you set the billing cycle anchor to today, that subscription would renew on the 11th of every month

distant dragon Jul 11, 2022, 2:42 PM

#

Ours are anual subscriptions, so when I do
stripe.Subscription.modify(subscription_id, billing_cycle_anchor="now", proration_behavior="none")
How do I modify that subscription so its one year from the date I modify it?

#

btw thanks @severe dew and @sterile carbon

#

oh, now I understand ... so that parameter billing_cycle_anchor already does that.
again thanks @sterile carbon
