• “Most recent usage value during period”: The total billed is based on the most recent usage record for the billing period
• “Most recent usage value”: The total billed is based on the most recently provided usage record. If no usage is reported during the current billing period, Stripe looks for a previous usage record.

In your case, you likely want to choose "Most recent usage value during period" for the usage of billing period

But, if we had a discrepancy in the usage and the billing period ended on 0000 1st of a month, and we send the invoice in the afternoon of the 1st, we would not be able to update the usage as this would be outside of the billing period?

Once the invoice is finalized, you won't be able to update the usage for that invoice

OK so when an invoice is in the pending stage, we can still update the usage, and deciding between “Most recent usage value” and “Most recent usage value during period” is arbitrary.
