Hi there! A subscription item's quantity can be updated: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscription_items/update

languid spade Sep 12, 2022, 4:45 PM

#

The quantity is not used in metered billing though

#

Should have mentioned that I am talking about UsageRecords

flat pulsar Sep 12, 2022, 5:02 PM

#

ah got it!

#

There's no way to delete a Usage Record once created

#

However, it can be corrected. You can create a new Usage Record with the same timestamp, the correct quantity, and action:set

#

The above method can be used if the original Usage Record was created with action:set

#

Ah okay that makes sense

#

That will do the trick. I didn't think about that as an option 👍

#

Okay, I tried this but it didn't adjust the invoice

#

It just created a usage record with 0 as the quantity

#

The upcoming invoice still shows the same amount

Catching up

#

That looks to be a different timestamp though, right?

#

You need to pass the same timestamp to overwrite

languid spade Sep 12, 2022, 5:33 PM

#

Oh I missed the note about the same timestamp

#

So I'll have to list out all the previous ones and then set them all

paper summit Sep 12, 2022, 5:34 PM

#

If you want to overwrite all of them then yes.

languid spade Sep 12, 2022, 5:37 PM

#

Yeah, I think I'm going to, made a mistake on a few thing so I was going to clear them all

#

And that seems impossible to retrieve the timestamps because there's only a summaries endpoint?

#

Dashboard is using /v1/subscription_items/si_MOuYrCNFhP0IRK/usage_records
But the API only exposes /usage_record_summaries

paper summit Sep 12, 2022, 5:42 PM

#

Ah you are right. Forgot about that. Let me double check on best way to do this

#

Yeah okay so this is actually not possible at the moment. The idea with metered billing is that you are tracking your own usage information and just submitting it to Stripe.

#

That puts you in a bit of a tough spot at the moment.

#

Ah okay

#

One workaround would be to use Sigma

#

Does look like we store usage record timestamps in Sigma so that would be your best workaround here
