Hi there, the usage-based pricing subscription is post-paid. Meaning the customer will be billed at the end of the billing cycle for the reported amount of usage.

If I understand your idea of upfront budget correctly, it's pre-paid. The user specifies the budget first and then you deduct pregressively based on the usage.

So I think the usage-based pricing model may not work in your case, and you should use the per-seat model (https://stripe.com/docs/products-prices/pricing-models#per-seat) which bills your customer at the beginning of the billing cycle.

Hi @lofty pulsar Actually, I only want the Buyer to specify the budget, but he or she can pay after consumption. The budget is only to ensure automatic cancellation of the subscriptions so that the Buyer doesn't rack up a huge amount.

Do you think I can make it work this way?

I see, then the post-paid metered usage subscription.

I'd like highlight the cancelation behaviour.

  • When canceling a subscription at the end of the period, a final invoice includes any usage reported before the subscription ends.
  • Canceling a subscription immediately doesn’t bill for any usage accrued during the final billing cycle.

So you might want to cancel the subscription at the end of the period instead of immediately.
