#

what if I get the payment in advance using payment intent api

and add stop limit to use-based billing when it reached to initial top up amount.

#

is that possible?

#

Yes you can do that. You can use PaymentIntent, or invoice (https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing) to collect an one time payment from your customer

Invoicing

Create and manage invoices for one-time payments with Stripe Invoicing.

and I want to create the paid invoice for metered billing because user has already paid in advance

You can apply a 100%off coupon to the customer to offset the payment
