Determining the initial bill date for a plan through the API

I am trying to figure out what the configured billing delay of a plan via the API but the only relevant parameter I am finding in the returned XML for plans is "trialDays". As far as I can tell from searching around the forums, this parameter is deprecated and never returns a non-zero value.

Is there anyway for me to get at this information or am I stuck without it?

    Hi Sean -- There currently isn't a way to get that from the API. The delayed first bill is a recent improvement and the config was not added to the plan XML. However, it's such a simple change, we've added it into our current maintenance release which should be deployed within a couple of days. The new XML nodes within the <plan> node are:

    <initialBillCount>0</initialBillCount>
<initialBillCountUnit>days</initialBillCountUnit>

    The unit can be either days or months.
