🧾 Invoice deferral for mid-cycle price changes

We’ve introduced a new invoice deferral option that lets you consolidate usage-based price changes on the next scheduled invoice, avoiding multiple invoices within the same billing period.

What’s new

  • Deferred billing for usage-based prices: Mid-cycle price updates no longer trigger immediate invoices; you can now defer them to align with your customer’s normal billing cadence.

  • Flexible configuration: Control deferral at the account level, during plan version migrations, or via the API using the can_defer_billing flag.

  • Accurate service breakdowns: Deferred invoices clearly show separate line items for old and new prices (and discounts, when applicable).

Why it matters

This change keeps invoices predictable and consolidated for customers while maintaining full accuracy and visibility into rate changes.

Availability

Invoice deferral is available in early access for usage-based fees only.
