#

"And I need to create invoice for this subscription to pay "10001 and above" - 8,190 right now" - but pay without $9.00 for next period

#

may be stripe automatically create invoice for it later - but I need to do it right now

#

But usage records are for metered billing. Metered billing is always billed at the end of the billing cycle. what is it you are actually trying to achieve here?

#

I set billing_thresholds.usage_gte = 6330 if create subscription - than stripe charge automatically when amount will more than this value, but sometime I need charge right now

#

I set billing_thresholds.usage_gte = 6330 for subscription item

#

Okay so is the usage amount greater than or equal to your threshold?

#

It sounds like your timing around billing does not match with the settings you are using when creating your subscription. Have you tried update the billing threshold?

https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/subscriptions/sub_1LLUXwLLJi9S5Lvqx4JwHAK6 - usage amount was more than threshold and here i see now that stripe has already created invoice in draft. But sometime i need create invoice when usage amount less than threshold manually - is it possible?

I don't think so, since the customer has not reached the threshold to bill them then there are no charges on that customer. You can read more about this strategy here:

ok, thanks for help

#

Would you be billing the customer for the same service the usage records are for?

#

The one way I could think you might be able to do it is to change the billing threshold for that subscription item
https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscription_items/update#update_subscription_item-billing_thresholds

#

If you dropped the usage_gte amount to equal or below what the current usage is, that should generate an invoice. Just be sure to reset the threshold unless you want to make that permanent.
