Warning: The next billing date does not change when you change a subscription from plan A to plan B with the same billing frequency.
If the plan frequency is different then the customers will be charged for the new plan and the billing frequency will be set accordingly.
If you need to change only the next billing date use the “change the next billing date”(Subscriptions details page > Action panel to the right) date and prorate the charges if applicable. Here's a video for reference.
