hi! isn't it just https://docs.stripe.com/api/billing/meter/object#billing_meter_object-id ?

That's for the billing meter itself, I need an identifier for the billing meter event I want to adjust according to https://docs.stripe.com/api/billing/meter-event_adjustment/create
But I don't see an API to retrieve billing meter events (by time period and customer ideally)
So the identifier in this object which doesn't seem to support a GET request to list meter events
https://docs.stripe.com/api/billing/meter-event

hmm not sure, I haven't used this new API much yet, let me ask my colleagues
devout tendon
Thanks a lot!
I'm seeing now that support for events cancellation for a time period is coming, maybe this is the answer
And by answer I mean that this is how I can achieve what I need
But I also see "You can only cancel events within 24 hours of Stripe receiving them." which might not let me do what I need

hi! I'm taking over this thread.
when you create a Meter Event, it does have an identifier (that you either set or is set for you): https://docs.stripe.com/api/billing/meter-event/create#create_billing_meter_event-identifier
and then you use this identified to do adjustment: https://docs.stripe.com/api/billing/meter-event_adjustment/create#create_billing_meter_event_adjustment-cancel-identifier
But I also see "You can only cancel events within 24 hours of Stripe receiving them." which might not let me do what I need
yes that's a limitation we have
devout tendon
Does this mean I need to keep track of all the meter events I create?
maiden bough
if you want to be able to cancel some of them, then yes.
devout tendon
OK
Not sure if you're looking for feedback on the meter event api but here's some, hoping it will be useful:
- considering we're using the meter API to delegate event accumulation and storage to stripe I think it's missing some feature to allow fixing usage (mistakes/bugs happen)
- if we need to start tracking usage events on our side, we might aswell do the accumulation ourselves and send the usage data before the invoices are generated
- even if we're ok with tracking usage events on our side, if the mistake/bug happened more than 24h before we're left with no option to fix the usage data
These can be all taken care of by adding the following to the API:
- capability to cancel a meter event beyond 24h (within the last 35 days like for creating new meter events would ideal)
- capability to list meter events for a customer within a set time period

thanks a lot for the feedback! I'll make sure to forward it to the relevant team.
can you share your account ID (acct_xxx)? it's at the top of this page: https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/account. that would help for the feedback.
maiden bough
perfect, thanks!
