hi there!

#

can you give a concrete example so I can better understand?

This example suits us well: Let's imagine we are a printing company. We sell users printers as a service such that the final customer will pay, monthly, the printer's rental of 100$. We also include a per-printed-page fee of 0.1$ with 10 pages per day free

#

So if onw day the customer prints 12 pages it should be chaged, at the end of the month, for 100$ + 0.2$

#

Now, if in three days the customer prints 5, 15, 11 pages it should be charged 100$ + 0$ + 0.5$ + 0.1$ at the end of the month

this sounds like a usage-based monthly Subscription, you can learn more about this here: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/usage-based
you can have some free usage, however it would be counted per month and not per day. so you could report usage at the end of every day, and only send the usage if the user printed over 10 pages (making the first 10 page per day effectively free).
