>What is one month ago when you are March, 31st?

"one month ago" is between "a few weeks ago" and "a few months ago".

>We have to deal with monthly subscriptions and it's not fun.

it is a lot less unfun if you define a month as N calendar days in your terms of service, like virtually everyone does

Yes, that's what we do mostly, except to track external subscriptions that actually use months (I believe the Google playstore does that but I could be mistaken with another service)

And they would be guilty of misleading the consumer when doing so, and possibly accounting fraud as well because neither GAAP nor IFRS recognise such a calendar; the closest available is the 4-4-5 standard.

This is why we don’t let engineers write contracts. Many seem to think that law is a programming language in which they can redefine reality. It ain’t.
