Hi
Yes it's a limitation on CreditNote to only responsible to a positive amount. What do you want to achieve specifically? We can look into alternatives to CreditNote

We need to undo/re-calculate taxes from Stripe Tax for lost disputes/chargebacks on Prorations
And since chargebacks don't automatically undo/re-calculate taxes for Stripe Tax, we need to use Credit Notes to do that
trail patrol
I somehow get the idea, eventually you want to give back your customer some amount, correct?
due to their chargebacks
fickle grove
No not give back the amount to the customer
Their credit card company/bank will give it back
We'll use out_of_band_amount for stripe.CreditNote.create to specify that the amount was credited outside of Stripe
However, we want to create a credit note just to undo/re-calculate our total tax from Stripe Tax
fickle grove
Since we don't have their money anymore, but Stripe Tax still thinks we owe the tax they paid
Hmm no I haven't used custom_line_item yet, but it seems that custom_line_item needs quantity, which errors out for prorations since there is no unit quantity (that is one of the errors described initially)
trail patrol
I mean with custom_line_item you can put a custom amount from any calculation logic. You don't need to put it specifically for a positive or negative line item, you can sum both item, and create a custom_line_item
to solve this part
Alright... so if I sum the two proration item amounts, which id do I use?

Good luck!
