Previous discussion about subscription prorations with tiered volume pricing. Trying to think of a way to accomplish similar behaviour using usage-based pricing to take advantage of billing thresholds, which don't seem to be available to volume pricing

👋

#

So when you create the Subscription, the customer is immediately charged for the flat fee for Jan 1 - Feb 1. The next invoice on Feb 1 will contain usage from Jan 1 - Feb 1 plus the flat fee for Feb 1 - Mar 1

#

No prorations though

Great, that is really helpful. It wasn't exactly what I wanted since it only charges a flat rate upfront, rather than an initial (so if my unit count was more than what is given in the flat rate, the difference wouldn't be charged until end of billing period) but its pretty close! Is it safe to say there is never any prorations possible for usage-based models?

Right, that's safe to say. There's no "credit" for time not used on a billing model that depends on reporting usage and where usage is calculated in arrears

Got it, thanks. You've been really helpful today and I appreciated your time
