Hi, we document this here: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/usage-based/pricing-models?dashboard-or-api=api#credit-burndown
The credit burndown model lets you collect prepayment for usage-based products and services. Customers can use billing credits to pay an initial amount, and then apply their billing credits as they use the product.
You can use it for the intial amount, and then apply the rest to the usage.

but how often billing credits are updated when usage is added?
dreamy fjord
Ah, I see your point. It would be calculated at the end of the billing period
I highly recommend that you try this out in test mode as well. You can use Test Clocks to advance time
potent rapids
yes, i tested with that. but I was looking for something where credits are applied instantly so I know how much user got left. in this case, the users can go over their credits grants on usage
dreamy fjord
You would need to track that on your end if you're trying to limit them to not go over the granted credits.
