Price and Invoice Metered Usage

Metered billing turns a meter’s aggregated quantity into a line item on a recurring subscription invoice.

​

Metered Pricing

Unit pricing multiplies measured quantity by one fixed amount. The configured meter unit controls how that rate is presented. A per-unit value may therefore appear to the buyer as $20 / 1M tokens while calculation still uses the single-unit amount. Volume pricing, where one fixed charge covers a quantity band, is not currently available.

Invoicing Customers for Usage

​

Attach the price

Add a metered price to a recurring catalog item, select its meter, and set the amount for one unit. An optional cap limits the final usage charge even when measured quantity exceeds it.

​

Follow the subscription period

Usage aggregates across the same period as the subscription: monthly subscriptions settle monthly, while yearly subscriptions settle yearly. The usage charge joins the rest of that period’s invoice.

​

Finish a canceled period

A period-end cancellation keeps measuring activity until the paid term expires. Ruba issues the final usage charge at that boundary even though another renewal will not begin. A subscription discount applies to the complete invoice, including metered lines.

The portal shows the customer an estimated charge for each meter before settlement.
