Possible enum values:
          - `decreasing_item_amount`
            Schedule the update when the subscription’s item amount decreases. This can happen when changing to a cheaper price or decreasing the quantity. This condition gets met if a subscription changes from a shorter billing period to a longer one and the resulting price is cheaper in the long term (for example, if the monthly price is 10 USD but the yearly price is 100 USD).

    Set to `false` to deactivate the `login_page.url`.

- `metadata` (object, optional)
  Set of [key-value pairs](https://docs.stripe.com/docs/api/metadata.md) that you can attach to an object. This can be useful for storing additional information about the object in a structured format. Individual keys can be unset by posting an empty value to them. All keys can be unset by posting an empty value to `metadata`.

- `name` (string, optional)
  The name of the configuration.

  The maximum length is 256 characters.
