there’s an additional five minutes after the end of a billing period when you can report usage

So this would be at the end of a billing period, you could listen to customer.subscription.updated to look for the billing period change

[willow raft]

I tried that, I reported the usage too, I dont see any invoice created for the additional usage quantity

[willow raft]

not sure if usage reporting is working

this is the price id price_1NDUwYGuTUZZ6Si6iT5OjXG7

[cerulean sky]

What is the subscription id?

[willow raft]

sub_1NDY8uGuTUZZ6Si6Wk0o7q3J

okay its looks like it worked this time? so does this mean this invoice will be collected next month?

it says upcomming invoice

why is it next month tho? i need it to be billed this month

[cerulean sky]

Note that the sub is using a test clock to "this month" and next month are relative to the clock

but is it the 20000 units you reported at 6:03?

is that timestamp in the previous billing period that just ended?

The grace period allows you to update usage for the billing period that ended, but you need to send usage for the correct timestamp (within that period)

[willow raft]

yeah, timestamp is previous biling period, current period end

this was the timestamp for 20,000 units

1698409980

wait a min, timestamp is wrong

fixing

No, it was right

27 oct

im really confused

[cerulean sky]

Do you get the expected result if you shift that timestamp to be before the period end? ie, even just a second before, pushing it clearly within the earlier period

[willow raft]

is there a way to reset the clock again? and how should I advance the clock to see if this is working?

[willow raft]

ohh I havnt tried that

[cerulean sky]

You'd create another, time can only go forward

[willow raft]

let met see

[willow raft]

okay

if you look at the view usage button, you can see its reported at 6:02 pm, I subtracted 60 seconds from current period end

it ends at 6:03

@cerulean sky

changed it to subtract 1 hour and it not even roporting usage

1 day sorry

Hello 👋
Give me a sec to catch up here

[willow raft]

this was the error I got for 1 day prior

Cannot create the usage record with this timestamp because timestamps must be after the subscription's last invoice period (or current period start time).

[charred widget]

Can you share the request ID?

[willow raft]

req_KUFZDNCQd6xsse?t=1685478796

timestamp is 1 day prior

so it should add the usage to invoice and have billed with 50,000 units

i think I should add a second?

[charred widget]

yeah try it out

To summarize ( timestamps are in UTC)

You have a test clock subscription with ID sub_1NDY8uGuTUZZ6Si6Wk0o7q3J

Currently Subscription's
period_start: 2024-04-27 12:33:00 +0000
period_end: 2024-05-27 12:33:00 +0000

When you sent a request to report the usage
https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_KUFZDNCQd6xsse

You reported usage for 2024-04-26 12:33:00 timestamp

That not working is expected as you can't report usage for previous period after a new cycle has started (except for the first 5 minutes of the new cycle)
