We are trying to charge the credit grants automatically if the subscription uses more than 10 dollars for example, but our payment model is

Pay before usage

#

So the user has always enough credits at the end of the month to pay the invoice

#

We want to automatically charge the subscription if more than 10 dollars of usage is used even if the total is 0 is that possible?

#

no worries

#

This is how the subscription looks like

#

no worries

#

still wrapping my head around your use case - any chance you can share an example subscription you've created?

#

here you go

#

We are using the Credit burndown model

#

ok sorry, still looking into things... just making sure i understand the question, you want to create a $0 charge even when the customer is below the billing threshold?

fierce stump Mar 25, 2025, 6:43 PM

#

yes

#

We are cautios that a user could have 20 billing credits of 4 dollars for example

The subscription period is not up yet, but the user needs more credits to use the service we want the subscription to be charged and start again

Hello 👋
Taking over here

fierce stump Mar 25, 2025, 7:03 PM

#

sounds good

viral umbra Mar 25, 2025, 7:05 PM

#

I don't believe billing thresholds will trigger an invoice in your case given the customer is prepaying for credits which they'll still have available for subsequent invoice.

#

have you tried this in test mode to see if this works?

#

Try setting the threshold on a test subscription and simulate the subscription with test clocks

fierce stump Mar 25, 2025, 7:13 PM

#

I tried this in production and as you can see with this subscription I shared the threshold is set to 10 and it did not trigger anything even though the total before teh credit grants is 10

viral umbra Mar 25, 2025, 7:19 PM

#

I see. Let me see if I can test this out

It looks like you're using a discount, in_1R1u9UD3AET2ZZIsSKaLkWBf to achieve this no?
