Replaces the subscription start field with start_date Breaking changes

What’s new

Replaces the start field on a subscription resource with a start_date field that represents when the entire subscription starts as opposed to when the current plan configuration does.

Impact

The new start_date field on the subscription resource now represents the original start date of the entire subscription, even if the plan configuration has changed over time. This provides you with a clearer and more comprehensive view of the subscription’s history.
