Reference transaction with Recurring PayPal payment profiles

I want to modify my billing cycle of recurring payment with a different amount before the next billing cycle starts, and I was suggested that I should use reference transaction for that. But as we know recurring payment profile call does not respond with transaction id then how is it possible to make a reference transaction ? Please help me with this subject.

Thank You,

If you're working with a recurring payments profile created via Payments Pro or Express Checkout then you'll need to update it using UpdateRecurringPaymentsProfile. You could also do it manually via the PayPal account.

If the profile was setup using a credit card there aren't any limitations to updating the amount. Unfortunately, if the profile was setup using a PayPal account you can only increase the amount by 20% every 180 days.

That's probably why reference transactions were recommended. Using reference transactions you can build your own recurring payments system and avoid this limitation.
