Cannot set the period limit

[handhikadj]

I can't find any reference on how to set the period limit.
This will monthly-bill the user endlessly:

public function buildCashierPlan(): Plan
    {
        $plan = new Plan($this->name);

        $amount = [
            'value' => 50.00,
            'currency' => 'EUR'
        ];

        return $plan->setAmount(mollie_array_to_money($amount))
            ->setInterval('1 month')
            ->setDescription('Pay description')
            ->setFirstPaymentMethod([])
            ->setFirstPaymentAmount(mollie_array_to_money($amount))
            ->setFirstPaymentDescription('Pay description')
            ->setFirstPaymentRedirectUrl(config('app.front_end_url') . '/premium?success=true')
            ->setFirstPaymentWebhookUrl(config('cashier.first_payment.webhook_url'));
    }

any reference / workaround?

Hi @handhikadj,

I’ve noted down that the times-feature is highly requested and I will work on it as soon as possible.

Meanwhile you can implement a workaround yourself by

1. Implementing your own Plan Model which offers a times column -> I believe based on your code piece, that you followed the examples from the docs on how to load your plans from the database. Only thing that you has to change is to let your Plan model implement the \Laravel\Cashier\Plan\Contracts\Plan contract
2. Add a times column to your Subscription model
3. Listen to OrderPaymentPaid and increment your Subscription’s times column with $event->order->orderItems->first()->orderable->increment(’times’)
4. Instead of calling cashier::run from your console kernel directly, you have to create your own job/command which (1) queries Subscriptions, (2) checks if there plan’s times equals the subscription’s times

use Laravel\Cashier\Cashier;
use App\Models\Subscription;

Subscription::whereActive()
    ->cursor()
    ->each(function (Subscription $subscription) {
        if ($subscription->times === $subscription->plan()->times) {
            $subscription->cancel();
        }
    });

Cashier::run();

If you have questions, please let me know!
