Update billing interval for subscription contract

Changes the billing frequency of a subscription contract. This allows customers to modify how often they are charged for their membership.

Full behavior, validation rules, and side effects

Key Features:

• Flexible Billing: Change billing frequency (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly)
• Custom Intervals: Set custom interval counts (e.g., every 2 weeks, every 3 months)
• Immediate Effect: Changes apply to the next billing cycle
• Independent from Delivery: Billing interval can differ from delivery interval
• Activity Logging: All changes are logged for audit trail

Billing Interval Options:

• DAY: Daily billing (intervalCount: how many days)
• WEEK: Weekly billing (intervalCount: how many weeks)
• MONTH: Monthly billing (intervalCount: how many months)
• YEAR: Yearly billing (intervalCount: how many years)

Common Examples:

• intervalCount=1, interval=MONTH: Bill monthly
• intervalCount=2, interval=WEEK: Bill every 2 weeks
• intervalCount=3, interval=MONTH: Bill quarterly
• intervalCount=6, interval=MONTH: Bill semi-annually
• intervalCount=1, interval=YEAR: Bill annually

Common Use Cases:

• Customer wants to change from monthly to quarterly billing
• Switch from annual to monthly payments
• Adjust billing frequency to match cash flow
• Promotional frequency changes
• Align billing with payday schedules

Important Notes:

• Next Billing Date: System recalculates the next billing date based on new interval
• Pro-rata Billing: No pro-rata adjustment; new interval starts from next billing date
• Minimum Cycles: Respects minimum billing cycle requirements if configured
• Customer Portal Protection: Includes freeze checks if called from customer portal

Authentication: Requires API key authentication via X-API-Key header or api_key parameter
