Hey there -- looking into this for you, give me a few minutes
Ok, so we have a note explaining how mid cycle price changes on a meter will not bill the previous usage: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/usage-based/manage-billing-setup#mid-cycle-updates
however, I expect this is in the case of share the same meter A on both price A1 and price A2
if you instead have a meter A for price A and a meter B for price B, that may not be the same
You can't have two active meters with the same event name, but if you deactivate the first as you say then you will be allowed to do that
If they're separate meters, I would hope we do invoice the amounts correctly like you describe for the transition period
Note the deactivating the meter would impact any other prices/customers using the same meter

Hey, thanks for the doc- I did see that but that's not acceptable for our use case. We need to record the usage before the price increase for that price and usage afterwards for the new price in the same billing cycle for the subscription

We would want to deactivate the price + meter for all subscriptions with that product and add the new price
Would there be support for allowing price increases for a price + billing meter like this in the future?

It is on the roadmap, though I'm not sure on an ETA for it. At the moment, the best workaround I am aware of at the moment is to preview the upcoming invoice on your subscription and then create one-off invoice items that represent the existing usage when making the update on your subscription (you can do this with the update call's add_invoice_items param)

Thanks for this, do you mean that I should create a one-off invoice for first half of cycle using usage details from upcoming invoice here https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/create_preview, and then update subscription line item with new price, which would bill for rest of cycle

You can charge right away or on the next invoice for the subscription. Basically when you add invoice items to a subscription, they will get added to the next invoice on the subscription whether it is for an update or on the subscription cycle. So if you add the invoice items via add_invoice_items and specify proration_behavior='always_invoice' an invoice for that usage will immediately be created. Otherwise they will be included on the next invoice when the subscription cycles
