Hi, let me help you with this.

#

When you create a Price, you map it to a Meter, which will determine to which Price will the Meter Events be attributed to: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/usage-based/implementation-guide?dashboard-or-api=api#create-pricing-model

That doesnt answer my question, sir. I manage all that correctly. The problem is when I try to record usage. It wont allow me in anway to set the subscription I am recording the usage to. I mean, one customer can have several subscriptions to the same product. I need to know which of these subscriptions the usage is bound to.

I want to record subscription or subscription_item usage, not customer usage.

#

When I deliver the invoice to my customer, I dont want a general invoice with total only, I need to specify in a detailed way each expense.

hi! I'm taking over this thread.

#

I mean, one customer can have several subscriptions to the same product.
yes that is a known limitation of meters

#

any workaround for this?

worthy prairie May 7, 2025, 9:04 AM

#

hum, the only one I can think of is make sure the Price object you are using for each subscription are different.

sterile shard May 7, 2025, 9:22 AM

#

Yeah. The problem is that when recording usage you have to send an event_name, which would then force me to also create a meter for each subscription. Get it?

yes I agree it's not great, but that's a current limitation of the product. otherwise, if you have multiple subscription for the same customer, then each subscription will see it's usage increase at the same time
