PATCH/v1/console/subscriptionoperation id updateSubscription

plan to a dearer plan applies at once: Stripe prorates the price difference on the next invoice and the weekly allowance switches to the new plan immediately (the current week's used amount is carried over). plan to a cheaper plan is scheduled for the end of the paid month (scheduled_plan); until then the current plan stays. cancel_at_period_end: false undoes a cancellation that has not taken effect yet. Without an active subscription: 409 no_subscription. A plan with no founding-round seat left: 409 plan_sold_out (a downgrade too, since it takes a seat on the cheaper plan). When Stripe refuses the change (the restricted API key lacks the permission, see the billing runbook): 503 maintenance; use the Customer Portal instead.

Authentication. Console session cookie (__Host-dex_session), or an app session token (Authorization: Bearer dex_ses_...). With the cookie, state-changing routes also need the x-dex-csrf header.

Parameters

x-dex-csrfheader ยท string
The csrf_token returned by createSession (or handed over in the completeGoogleSignIn redirect). Required with the session cookie on every state-changing console route; not used with a bearer app session.

400The request could not be read. Codes: invalid_json (not JSON, not UTF-8, or a \u escape that is half of a surrogate pair, such as "\ud800" without its low half), duplicate_key (a JSON object repeats a key; param is the JSON pointer of the repeated member, such as /questions/q1/options/a), unsupported_media_type (not application/json) and invalid_header (a malformed idempotency-key or x-client-request-id; param names the header).

Headers: x-request-id, x-client-request-id

Error envelope. See Errors for every type and code.

401Missing, unknown, revoked or expired credentials.

Headers: x-request-id, x-client-request-id

Error envelope. See Errors for every type and code.

403The credentials are valid but not allowed to do this (missing scope, suspended account or failed CSRF check).

Headers: x-request-id, x-client-request-id

Error envelope. See Errors for every type and code.

409The idempotency key was used with a different body, or the first request with this key is still running. Console billing routes also answer 409 for a state conflict: subscription_exists (createSubscriptionCheckout while a subscription is live, joinWaitingList for a plan the account holds), no_subscription (updateSubscription, cancelSubscription, createResetCheckout or createBillingPortalSession without one), plan_sold_out (createSubscriptionCheckout or updateSubscription to a plan with no founding-round seat left; with hints), key_revoked (updateKey on a revoked key).

Headers: x-request-id, x-client-request-id, retry-after

Error envelope. See Errors for every type and code.

422The request is well-formed JSON but breaks a validation rule. param names the field as a dotted path. Codes: unknown_field, missing_field, invalid_type (wrong JSON type), invalid_value (right type, value out of range: an empty or over-long string, a state, instructions, criteria string or option description of only whitespace, an empty questions or options object, an empty state object or array, a pattern or allowed-value mismatch such as a label or level with outer whitespace, a state nested deeper than 32 levels, a bad date or date range), field_not_allowed (options or levels on the wrong question type), invalid_question_id, too_many_questions, too_many_options, invalid_levels (including two levels equal after Unicode NFC normalisation and lower-casing), invalid_min_confidence, duplicate_label (two option labels equal after Unicode NFC normalisation and lower-casing, such as Billing and billing), state_path_not_found, state_not_json and, on the console, top_up_limit_exceeded.

Headers: x-request-id, x-client-request-id

500An unexpected error. Any charge was refunded. Retry with the same idempotency key.

Headers: x-request-id, x-client-request-id

Error envelope. See Errors for every type and code.

503maintenance: the console's database, sign-in or payments are unavailable for a moment (for createGoogleSession also: Google sign-in is not configured, or Google's signing keys cannot be fetched). Retry after retry-after. Nothing was changed.
