👋 happy to help
there's no way to set a trial on a price but not the other
the trial is on the unmetered one?
graceful ginkgo
yes, it would be on an unmetered price
past elbow
does your metered price have a flat rate?
graceful ginkgo
Uhm, it's a graduated price where the first X is free, then the others have a fee per unit. I'm not sure if that answers the question.
it looks like this
past elbow
ok since there's no flat fee
I think it's safe to put the trial on the subscription itself
graceful ginkgo
but we want to charge for usage above 4 in this example. if I understand correctly the free trial would prevent that, isn't it?
past elbow
AFAIK the usage records are not tied with the trial, only the flat fee is

https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/trials#combining-trials-with-metered-prices here the docs says that "During the trial period, any usage accrued doesn’t count toward the total charged to the customer at the end of the billing cycle"
past elbow
is the trial a whole billing cycle? (e.g. a whole month for a monthly subscription)
graceful ginkgo
yes, I mean it would be 30 days which is not always a whole month...
past elbow
it's better to give a full billing cycle trial instead of number of days
otherwise there would be potential prorations to account for
ok so to go back to the original ask
you're right the usage accrued doesn't count during the trial
so it's better to have 2 different subscriptions in that case

understood, thank you
