Hi! So yes, that is the first invoice of a Subscription, and its period of billing - the period of billable items besides the price. Since there was no period before the start of the Subscription, the period is zero-length.

That period represents the timeframe for which Usage Based Billing items would have been included in this invoice if there were any.

Does that help?

The Invoice's line_items[]interval contain the dates you're likely looking for, which "created date -> next period date"

oh so that period is just for usage based billing? another follow up question i have that is not related to main question: do you know if a subscription does have usage billing , and we set billing threhold and invoice is finalized before period end. that period_end and period_start would be when invoice was finalized right?

[vestal spire]

yea, that's probably it

[potent crown]

Re your first question, that should be the case, yes. It should represent ( period_start || last_threshold ) to new_threshold if that makes sense.

Aka the time since period start, or since the threshold last tripped in this period.

[vestal spire]

yes, that makes sense. thanks

[potent crown]

Awesome. 🙂
