not really no, our billing product and models are very much designed around the idea that you pay for the upcoming billing period at the start of it and that's what the Invoice we generate is for

Thanks @elfin estuary !
We are an open-source project where users set up their own infrastructure. So, implementing telemetry is quite difficult since every user has a different setup. As for now this business model is based on honest reporting.

Would love to see a retrospective billing model when creating a product on our Stripe Dashboard.

I’m thinking of Google Workspace seats, where a company gets billed for the past month for all the seats they purchased. Should a seat be added in the middle of a month, then the price for that seat should be adjusted proportionally when billed retrospectively.

unfortunately I'm not an expert in subscription modelling so a lot of that terminology is hard for me. It's likely we support most of that, we support proration when subscriptions are edited during a month, we support usage-based reporting where you could report the number of sets and call the API to add new usage when a new seat is used
