Hello 👋
Not sure off the top of my head

#

With the credit system, it sounds like what you're looking for is usage-based pricing no?
https://stripe.com/docs/products-prices/pricing-models#model-usage-based-pricing-on-stripe

#

So for first N credits, you charge a flat fee
and then for the rest, you charge per unit

yep

#

so what i'm trying to figure out is can i give out free credits, or would it be a matter of sending a negative number to the usage API

Yup, creating negative usage items was what I was thinking as well. afaik, there's no way to issue free credits as such, there's only trial periods (which are time driven)
Have you tried it out yet?
