Goal

While trying to create 4-hour validity products in an upgraded BRM (BRM 12 PS 8) environment, the balance validity start time is rounding to 00:00:00 hours.

The following configuration works fine for one-time purchase products but does not work for cycle-forward products.

Cycle product configuration (which does not need rounding):

It is known that the parameter "timestamp_rounding_for_purchase_grant" is applicable only for purchase_fee events ("/event/billing/product/fee/purchase").

Hence, as per design with the above configuration, the timestamps will be rounded for recurring events and add-on products.

If the need is to round the timestamp for a specific product, customization has to be done in the pol_post_rating policy opcode to set the valid_from to event end_t.

How do you achieve not rounding the balance validity timestamps for cycle-forward products by using flexible proration options?
