I am developing an application that users recurring subscription plans and came across

initialInvoiceBillingDatetime and nextInvoiceBillingDatetime

would these two fields indicate when the subscriptions will be processed next? I was curious because when I pull it on the development plan it keeps incrementing up the time. Would this stop on a regular plan or is this not the right way to pull the next billingDate for people on a plan.

Thank you for your help

   Hi Mike -- Those are provided as a convenience for determining what the initial and next invoice dates would be if a new customer signed up for that plan right now. You'll notice that these values are within the plan node which makes them related to the plan, not necessarily the subscription.

   The next invoice date for the subscription is the billingDatetime of the pending invoice (the first invoice in the list -- also the only one with a billingDatetime in the future.
