List subscription API

Question

Hi Lucid community!I had a question regarding the response from the List Subscriptions API.The developer documentation mentions that the API returns a Subscription ID. Could someone clarify whether this ID is:Fixed across all accounts for a given plan, or	Specific to each customer account?For example, would all customers on the Teams Licensing Plan have the same Subscription ID, or would each customer have a unique Subscription ID for that plan?Could someone please clarify how this works? Thanks!

When a Plan is applied to an account, a `subscription` is the unique identifier to that account’s specific implementation of the plan as of the moment it was applied.

This allows the details of a Plan to evolve over time without necessarily affecting everyone on the plan. Lets say that tomorrow we wanted to make a modification to an existing plan, we could do so without affecting anyone already on the plan.

Technically, no account is on a Plan. They are on a subscription which is pointer to a Plan. So, a Plan can have many subscriptions in the sense that each subscription is an instance of that Plan.

I do not think a single account could have multiple subscriptions that represent the same Plan. At least, not under any typical scenario.

The subscriptionIdis unique to a specific subscription on a customer’s Lucid account. It is not a shared Id for a particular plan, so two customers on the same Team plan will have different subscriptionIds. (1:N)Subsciptions are an individual instance of a Plan. Plan information is currently not available via the Public API.
