Hi there!
You can learn about metered billing here: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/metered
What do you mean by "lifetime usage"?

Every month we'd like to bill our customers but not reset the usage for them
so for e.g. if they used 90k units in their lifetime we would like to charge them for the unit price that 90k is in instead of the usage records accrued in the billing month
icy timber
So you don't want to reset the usage records at the end of every month?
novel island
yes correct
icy timber
That's not something supported by Stripe. But you could start every month by sending a usage record with the total used by this customer.
novel island
ah interesting
that's actually a great solution
thank you
also another question, how do we query the total usage for the month?
