Metered Billing - testing

Metered Billing - testing

I have a test organization and need to test metered billing. My goal is goal is to have a invoice created in the pending state when metered billing is on. I create a subscription with a back dated activation date but the next billing date is always in the future by one month. I want to see my subscription create the invoice in the 'pending' state so I can test webhooks and other functionality. How to I test the metered billing workflow without waiting a month?
