This sounds similar to metered billing, but maybe a bit different. With Stripe metered billing, you report usage amounts to Stripe and then Stripe will total up the usage over a billing period to charge the customer.
It sounds like you want to have a set number of units that are consumable, such that you can report a certain number of consumed units over time. Is that correct? Does metered billing suit your use-case?
Here's the guide on usage based billing in case you were curious: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/usage-based

thanks for the info! It might work, but i don't want to charge based on usage necessarily. so if 10 credits is $10, they will just get charged the 10 dollars each month regardless of if they use all 10 credits, and any unused credits would rollover

Ahhh, okay. if you don't intend to change the amount they're charged, then there's no way to track the amount of credits they've used.

gotcha. ok i'll keep going with metadata then, thank you!

Sure thing!
