by total do you mean the usage total or the total amount billed?

[worn wren]

both if possible 🙂

[pastel vine]

For the usage total for a given period you can utilize https://docs.stripe.com/api/billing/meter-event-summary/object

[worn wren]

thanks! So couple follow up questions, if getting the monthly summary, would that be best advised to set start_time to subscription.current_period_start and end_time to current_period_end?

I noticed you can only group by either hour or day, in that case would you have to iterate through each day's summary and add the aggregated_value to get the full month's summary?

"thanks! So couple follow up questions, if getting the monthly summary, would that be best advised to set start_time to subscription.current_period_start and end_time to current_period_end?"

Yes this is probably the easiest way to get the summary for the subscription window.

I believe you can use https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/create_preview to get a preview of the what the billed amount based on the usage from the start of the cycle to today

thanks 🙂 out of sheer curiosity, is there any particular reason you guys don't offer a week or month filter with summaries?

[pastel vine]

"If not specified, a single event summary would be returned for the specified time range." So I believe you can just get a single summary for the whole of the subscription billing cycle.

So setting week or month would be for a situation where say you set a several month window and wanted one summary per month in that window. I'm not sure we've seen demand for that but I can always put in a feature request.

[worn wren]

makes sense! would be cool to see it as a request just for the sake of simplicity. Appreciate the help. Will ping if anything else comes up 🙂

[pastel vine]

Of course! I'll put a feature request in for you 🙂
