Good question, checking in to how to do this

Thank you!

So unfortunately this isn't really possible with metered billing at the moment. To achieve this kind of behavior you would probably have to preview the upcoming invoice, manually create a new invoice for the amount from the preview, and then reset the usage yourself.

#

Though from what I have heard, resetting the usage may not be particularly easy.

#

Are you interested in a process like that or is this really only viable for you if we have the built in functionality already?

Yeah I don't think we'd like to reset the usage manually as that sounds more prone to errors unfortunately

Gotcha. Well, I will raise feedback about this but unfortunately I don't think this is possible in the API at the moment.

Is there some gap in what the billing thresholds can do for you that you were trying to cover with a one-off Invoice like this?

Basically what we were trying to work around was that we wanted to be able to have a monthly cadence for invoicing for metered usage, while offering a yearly price for the license. From my understanding, this is currently only possible at the moment with multiple subscriptions, but adding support for multiple subscriptions to our current integration would be a much bigger undertaking. In addition, these services are related, so having them as separate subscriptions doesn't make as much sense from a business model.
That's valid feedback. I'll check to make sure that Pompey was able to surface that to the product team. As of now, do you feel you have enough context to make the necessary adjustments on your end?
