Thanks, let me take a look

#

https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_YefI4yWYvE1vvD this is the checkout session creation request, where you only passed in one flat fee price.

#

Can I suggest you follow this doc (https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/usage-based/pricing-models?dashboard-or-api=api#fixed-fee-overage) and pass both a flat fee price, and metered price when creating a subscription mode checkout session?

#

I belive that is the doc I was follwing? no?

#

I also would not like to have an overage!

#

its feels morally un-right to charge people like that too me!!

Maybe I don't have the full details. Can you tell me what kind of billing model that you want build? To help me better understand, can you walk me through with a concrete example?

yes sir

So I am building a SaaS based application. The users are buying tiers which just have Tokens from a LLM. So for say the starter tier has 50k Tokens and Costs $9.99. Currently I have setup a checkout page for this and all of it works fine. My problem is when Im re-directed back to my application I don't think there is any correlation between my authenticated account via clerk and convex and the starter Tier I just bought. I tried adding a badge to My UserItem (which is just a designed input which showcases my account) that shows which tier the user has and when I got re-directed back I still had the free tier even though I just bought the starter tier.

is it about knowing whether your customer has the feature access to your service (i.e., the tokens) ?
