This does not suit my pricing model as I wish to charge the customer the first tier upfront and later apply the remaining fees based on usage. Is it possible using a Stripe Checkout Session?
Can you please share the Susbcripion Id that you used for your tests
and share with me exaectly what amount of money you wanted to charge
You can create a fresh new simulation using Stripe test clocks:

It was some time ago and I cleared my test data. Is customer supposed to pay the first tier for graduated tier usage-based pricing with Stripe Pricing table and checkout page? Because it is not what I experienced
outer dragon
It depends what pricing models you were using and how you are creating the Subscription. But you can't pay upfront using Stripe Subscription for a tier without reporting usage

Can I try to repro and re-open this thread ?
outer dragon
Yes of course, feel free to create a new simulation. If this one is closed, feel free to open a new one.

For information, you can see the customer will not be charged on payment
Product id: prod_QpnFM9eqZ3cudM
Price id: price_1PyUFXDLwEugEZtsrenR6Hoj
I would expect the customer to be charge $500 on payment
outer dragon
Yes
But you can't pay upfront using Stripe Subscription for a tier without reporting usage
You can charge the customer using Stripe Invoice upfront (one time payment) and at the end of the billing period you make the adjustment by your integration.

Can you provide some extended documentation to understand how it works and implement it using Stripe Checkout ?
Also, would Tiered pricing be more suitable? Can I meter customer usage and change its tier accordingly on billing using this pricing model?
outer dragon
This guide is a good start for understanding the pricing models:
https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/usage-based/pricing-models
Then you can check this guide for recording usage:
https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/usage-based/recording-usage
Which you can do it via API, Dashboard upload or other options mentioned in that guide.
