Hi 👋

Thin events are a very confusing topic and I think the docs are just worded poorly.

#

When the docs state "API v1 endpoints also generate thin events." here, my read is that you can use V1 API endpoints to make changes to your Stripe account that will cause V2 thin events to be generated.

#

Looking at the List of v2 event types, I see two are related to Billing Meters.

#

My read of this doc is that you can trigger these events through using the V1 API endpoints for [Billing Meters](<https://docs.stripe.com/api/billing/meter?)

#

so am I understanding correctly that there are only 3 different kinds of v2 thin events today?

#

I currently subscribe to several v1 events. Am I able to use thin events for those?
Thin events are currently limited to the three we have documented here

For other event types you would still need to use V1 events

#

ok, so basically there are almost no events being sent as "thin" today.

#

Correct. This is a new pattern for us and is not currently a drop-in replacement for V1 events

somber zephyr Jul 31, 2025, 7:47 PM

#

gotcha

#

does this also mean if I ever need a v2 event, that I need to set up a separate event destination configured for v2 events?

#

I would spin up one in Test mode to validate whether you only receive the three V2 events we listed or whether you get both V1 and V2 events delivered as "snapshot" and "thin" event types
