Thanks for being a part of WWDC25!

How did we do? We’d love to know your thoughts on this year’s conference. Take the survey here

subscription upgrades with trial periods

Do trial periods carry over during subscription upgrades?

For example, if I were to upgrade from subscription A that is currently within its introductory offer (free trial) period days to subscription B that also has the same introductory offer setting, would it be like a regular upgrade where purchaseDate and ExpiresDate remain the same?

The reason I'm asking is because from my previous understanding, free trials can only be applied to a subscription within the same subscription group once. So when I do an upgrade like above, I expected the trial offer to be used on subscription A already and hence subscription B should no longer have its offerType = 1.

But as far as testing shows in the sandbox environment, after being upgraded subscription B retains the same "trial period". I would like to know if this is the correct behavior, and also if there are other patterns outside of upgrades that would behave the same.
