Why not keeping a record in your database of the actual balance of the customer? and track/monitor it aligning with your use case

I could, but I feel like it'd become a bunch of work. e.g: credit grants should expire after a year, promotional free credits can be issued with varying expiry times. Later I'll probably want non-PAYG plans, which have different prices. etc

Felt like it'd be nice to take advantage of Stripe's billing ecosystem which I think make some of the aforementioned things easier in the future?

I mean you use Stripe billing, but just you keep a track on the credit balance of the customer depending on your own logic

lean perch
#

that means I need to reimplement similar logic as stripe uses to calculate credit deductions right? (ie: when meter events happen, lookup user's pricing, compute how much balance should change by, and presumably maintain a ledger of credit balance updates in my DB)

#

not sure if we're thinking of something different?

with the above approach though, it seems like I'd not want to opt into stripe's billing functionality for usage metering, as my backend and stripe's calculations could fall out of sync?

Yeah agreed there is that risk

#

let me double check with one of my colleagues if there is a workaround or another solution

#

Will be back shortly

This issue will require an in-depth investigation from our team.
