Hi 🙂
I currently develop an option to subscribe to my website.
The billing is every 1 month.
When I tested the payment today (28.11.2019) I expected the "next_billing_time" in the response to be in December (29.12.2019 or something close).
but after the payment was approved, I see that the start time of the subscription is 27.11.2019 (yesterday) and the next billing time is today (28.11.2019).
I see the same thing in my subscriptions in my paypal account, the only place that I get the right details is in the express checkout bill in my recent transactions.
Does somebody know how to fix it?
(btw I'm using paypal smart buttons)

Having the same issue with subscription. I think the only way to get the correct timing is buy manually calculating using the plan cycle.
