# Adds scheduled subscription downgrades in the customer portal ## What’s new You can now configure the customer portal so that subscription downgrades occur at the end of the billing cycle, rather than immediately. You can [manage downgrades in the Dashboard](https://docs.stripe.com/customer-management/configure-portal.md#downgrades) or by using the [schedule_at_period_end](https://docs.stripe.com/api/customer_portal/configurations/create.md?api-version=2024-10-28.acacia#create_portal_configuration-features-subscription_update-schedule_at_period_end) when you [create a portal configuration](https://docs.stripe.com/api/customer_portal/configurations/create.md?api-version=2024-10-28.acacia) through the API. ## Impact Previously, customers on higher cost plans that allocated credits that switched to a lower cost plans would be given access to the remaining credits on the higher cost plan. This change makes it possible for downgrades to occur at the end of a billing cycle, preventing the credit issue. ## Changes #### REST API | Parameter | Change | Resources or endpoints | |
