👋 happy to help

do you mean on the usage record or on the flat amount?

[cloud tapir]

flat amount

[devout carbon]

I think so, yes.

have you tried it and it didn't do the proration?

[cloud tapir]

just wanted to confirm it first wether it is possible or not?

[devout carbon]

AFAIK the flat amount will be prorated whereas the usage records won't

[cloud tapir]

so if I have two metered price , for example $10 per unit per month and $20 per unit per month. How will the billing look if I upgrade at mid of the billing cycle ?

[devout carbon]

I think the usage records will be billed accordingly

there won't be a proration

so if at the time of subscription upgradation if usage was , for example 5 units, customer will be billed (5 X 10 ) / 2 = $25 and at the end of billing if usage was 10 units then one more invoice will generated of amount ( 10 X 20) / 2 = $100. Is my understanding correct ?

divided by 2 because upgradation happened in the mid of billing cycle

[devout carbon]

I don't think proration happens on the usage records

[cloud tapir]

so is there any way to have subscription upgrade/downgrade handling in case of metered usage subscription?

[devout carbon]

I stand corrected: no. Prorations are not generated for metered subscription updates because they’re billed at the end of the period, not at the start like with licensed subscriptions. We do not differentiate between usage that was reported for the old price from usage that was reported after the subscription item was updated to the new price.

meaning that if you upgrade mid-cycle then all reported usage records are considered to be billed at the end of the month with the new price
