Hello, can you explain more of what you are trying to do here?

[pliant vapor]

Oh

Well, we want to create a multiparty platform. Suppose there's a merchant and they have 30 users subscribed to them

If that merchant changes the price of that subscription, we wish to automatically disable auto-renewal for everyone

We don't want those 30 users to be forced into the new price

So we want to cancel the 30 subscriptions until those 30 users manually subscribe again to the new price

We thought of simply sending 30 API requests and canceling each subscription at a time, but that sounds too much

There must be a better way

[limber drift]

Gotcha, unfortunately that is still the best way to do that at the moment. We don't have a way to batch those calls or affect all subscriptions that are on a specific price at the moment, so updates like that need to be one-by-one

[pliant vapor]

but the Stripe API has a rate limit of 20 requests per second, so suppose we have many users, we'll have to wait in-between requests or something, right?

I take that back, it's 100 per second

[limber drift]

Yes, you would have to do those requests over some period of time if you have too many to do at once

For this kind of update the rate limit is 100 requests per second. 20 is only for certain file API calls https://stripe.com/docs/rate-limits

[pliant vapor]

I see

So we just have to send 1 request for each subscription

[limber drift]

Yes, unfortunately that is the case at the moment.

[pliant vapor]

Well

Thanks a lot for your help!
