I'd recommend using new meter events for usage based billing: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/usage-based/implementation-guide

For the new meter event integration, it has one-hour grace period by default to submit the usage after the period ends: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/usage-based/recording-usage#configurable-grace-period

@wraith mulch thanks, I can see that it can be still extended to 72 hours,.

#

still a bit unsafe for us as the whole calculation will happen after the billing cycle ends and it can take time, might have to retry if there was any error.

I see, I am using Legacy usage record API atm, so @wraith mulch what is your recommendation, should I totally ignore usage metering/subscriptions and just create manual invoices each time?

wraith mulch
#

This is the new way to integrate metered/usage billing for subscription

OK I understand @wraith mulch , let's say in the case of an error the system couldn't submit metered events within 72 hours window, what happens? would "0" invoices be sent to cusomers? how can I recover from those cases?

wraith mulch
#

$0 will be created and sent to the customer

#

If this happen, your system can:

  1. Charge the usage to the next billing cycle; OR
  2. Create an one-time invoice for the usage that fails to submit

that is great, but still can the 72 hours be increased, let say a week?

wraith mulch
#

72 hours is the maximum duration of the grace period and it can't be increased further
