hi there!

#

it's the maxium value during the period, so yes it will reset at the next period.

#

so you'll need to implement some logic on your end for this to work as you want to.

Thanks @deep veldt ! Is there some recommendation on how to do this? I'm thinking of storing when a subscription will renew, and then report the usage a day after, and then only report if there is a change...

#

but maybe isntead of using usage, you could just have a regular Subscription and increase the quantity when needed? https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-items-quantity

#

Ah... is there an advantage of doing it like this? So instead of just reporting a new usage (with set) I'd just update the quantity of the subscription?

based on the use case you just described, it would be much simpler.

#

correct

#

I recommend doing some tests in test mode to see if that works as expected

#

and you can use Test Clocks to help you with this: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/testing/test-clocks

#

Ah and with prorated prices that would actually be exactly what I want.

#

Can I prevent customers from changing the quantity themselves? Even if they have the customer portal ?

#

yes the customer as many options to restrict what customers can/cannot do
