Fixed-term prices expire

A fixed-term individual price is two contracts created together: the discounted one with an end date, and a successor that starts the day after. Without the second one the member would hold no contract after the cut-off date and would stop being a member. Nobody falls back to the list price on their own.

• The end always lands on the last day of a month, so the successor starts on a 1st. That is the same boundary every plan change uses.
• The successor plan is fixed when you create it. In the app it falls back to the plan the member currently holds, and that is exactly what the feature is for: cheaper for a while, then back to how it was.
• The successor must not be the same plan as the fixed-term one. Otherwise the term would have no effect.
• Nothing changes until the cut-off date. The member sees their familiar plan name, only the amount is the agreed one.
• If the member switches earlier on their own, the scheduled successor is discarded. That is intended: the arrangement it belonged to is over.

The fixed-term plan change in the member record is built the same way. See Set an individual price and Change a member's plan.
