The rate limits are based on API keys, not a single object

See
https://stripe.com/docs/rate-limits

I've seen that, but it doesn't answer my question about a single subscription

shrewd urchin Dec 13, 2023, 2:33 PM

#

Can you expand and provide more context? Are you running into any rate limit issues with updating subscriptions?

nova jasper Dec 13, 2023, 2:49 PM

#

Can you share an example request where you're seeing this?

Hmm i'm not aware of any limits specifically associated with subscriptions, taking a step back

What's your usecase of updating the subscription 200 times at a time?

nova jasper Dec 13, 2023, 3:03 PM

#

We are processing adding employees to an account and we want to process one at at time so we can have good error handling/tracking

#

rather than doing a bulk update

#

I see. It seems like we have a limit for the max number of invoices per subscription per minute. Since you're setting proration_behavior: "always_invoice", it creates a new invoice each time

#

So I think a better approach might be to run batch updates every 10-15 minutes or so

#

ok gotcha
