### Prorations

When you change a subscription part way through a billing period, you can choose how the change is billed. Set **Prorate changes** to apply a [proration](/billing/subscriptions/prorations) so the customer is charged or credited for the unused part of the period, or leave it off to apply the change without proration. You can also **Reset billing cycle** to restart the cycle from the billing anchor.
