Hello
That's not currently possible -- you would subscribe the different Subscriptions to different Metered Prices in that case

It doesn't make much sense to me. What is the correct way to setup meters for same product then? Following the examples in docs, we have a meter called sms and each SMS sent we report the meter. Are you suggesting us to have different meters? like sms_meter_1 sms_meter_2 etc? Because even if I use different prices, if the prices are using the same meter, it will count twice.
Is there a business reason why we can't send meters by subscriptions?
untold juniper
The reason is because the API wasn't designed like that. The idea is that you wouldn't have the same Customer with multiple Subscriptions for the same Product/Price.
So you either need to split into multiple Customers here or create different Products/Prices that are tied to unique Meters

Having same customer with different subscription isn't a real-world scenario for Stripe? We have franchises with 50+ locations. Same customer (the parent organization), but invoices needs to account for usages for each location they have.
Spliting into mulple customers is inviable for many reasons.
The other option you gave is, for each product we have, have a 1..50 different meters? like sms_1, sms_3, sms_4 ... sms_50? And track on my side when to publish each one?
untold juniper
Different Subscriptions, yes, same Product on those Subscriptions, no.
I understand what you want here and I'll submit some feedback internally but I'm just letting you know this isn't how the API was designed
So what you want simply isn't possible right now
dusky carbon
That's, disappointing... That's a pretty common use-case for many B2B. Is there a way to get notified about the feedback you are submitting? I need to report it.

You can reach out to our Support team via https://support.stripe.com/contact/login and they can update you if you want.

Also, quick question. The docs says Last/Max will be available soon. How can I get it as soon as possible?
