Update subscription contract billing date

Updates the next billing date for a subscription contract. This reschedules when the next payment will be charged for the membership.

Full behavior, validation rules, and side effects

Key Features:

• Flexible Rescheduling: Move billing date forward or backward
• Immediate Effect: Changes take effect immediately in the billing schedule
• Automatic Adjustments: Future billing dates recalculate based on frequency
• Customer Portal Compatible: Can be triggered from customer self-service portal
• Activity Logging: All changes are tracked in activity logs

Billing Date Update Rules:

• New date must be in the future (past dates are rejected)
• Cannot update if contract is paused or cancelled
• Cannot update if minimum billing cycles enforcement is active
• Date format must be ISO 8601 with timezone (e.g., 2024-12-25T10:00:00Z)
• Subsequent billing dates auto-calculate based on delivery frequency

Common Use Cases:

• Customer requests to postpone next delivery/billing
• Align billing date with customer payday or preference
• Skip a billing cycle due to vacation or temporary hold
• Synchronize multiple subscriptions to bill on same day
• Resolve payment timing conflicts or scheduling issues
• Adjust for seasonal demand or customer availability

Important Notes:

• Changing billing date does NOT change the billing cycle frequency
• If minimum cycles are configured, this may be restricted
• Activity logs capture old date, new date, and change source
• Customer receives updated billing schedule notification

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