You can now list subscriptions with GET /subscriptions/summary, a lighter version of the subscriptions list endpoint: each subscription comes back with its own fields, and its plan and customer are returned as references rather than full objects.

To keep responses fast, the summary leaves out derived fields such as:

• Price intervals
• Billing periods
• Plan phases

Use it when you need to page through subscriptions quickly and only need their core fields, and fetch an individual subscription when you need its pricing or billing period details.

Learn more about summary lists in our docs.

You can now set per-group overrides on multidimensional spend alerts without specifying a value for every grouping key. Any key you leave out of an override matches any value, so a single override can cover a whole slice of your customers' usage.

Previously, each override needed a value for every grouping key, so an alert grouped by several event properties required a separate override for each combination. Now you can, for example, raise the threshold for every group where region is eu, whatever the other keys are.

• Set a custom threshold or mute alerts for groups that match only the keys you choose
• Configure overrides under per-group overrides when creating or editing a spend alert in the dashboard

Learn more about spend alerts in our docs. Reach out to your Orb contact to request access for grouped spend alerts.

When you open a grouped cost alert on a subscription's Alerts tab in the dashboard, you can now expand it to see exactly which groups have fired in the current billing period and which thresholds each one has crossed.

• Each group shows when it last fired and the cost at that moment.
• Threshold badges show which of the alert's thresholds a group has already hit.
• You can search to find a specific group by name.

This makes it easier to spot which groups are driving spend directly in the Orb app without digging through individual alert notifications.

Enterprise Commitment is now in Early Access. 

With commitments, your customers agree to a minimum spend over a contract term, which Orb tracks for you. Postpaid commitment invoices any shortfall as a true-up, while prepaid commitment is granted upfront as credits.

• Set the true-up or credit grant cadence to match the contract, at term end or on a recurring schedule.
• Configure credit rollover for unused commitment.
• Track each commitment in a dedicated ledger view in the dashboard.
• Bill usage and true-ups together on a single invoice.

Creating a subscription and changing a plan now use the same two-panel layout as subscription edits. Configuration lives on the left, and a live preview on the right shows the subscription timeline and the invoicing impact of the current selections, before anything is saved.

Key changes:

• Two steps, down from four or five: pricing configuration, then remaining settings
• One pricing configuration section for prices, allocations, and adjustments. No more jumping between steps to reference previous configuration choices
• Prices are edited in a dialog, like allocations and adjustments. Each price card is a compact read-only summary, so overrides stay visible while you work instead of being buried in a tall form
• Live preview of timeline and invoice changes as configuration is adjusted

Try it now, or learn more in our docs.

When you migrate subscriptions to a new plan version, you can now set the effective date to the start of the current invoice period or the start of the next invoice period. Each subscription switches on its own invoice boundary, so the new pricing covers a full billing period instead of starting partway through one.

The effective date step in the migration flow has also been redesigned, with options grouped by what they align to:

• Align to invoice period: start of current invoice period, start of next invoice period
• Align to subscription term: start of current term, start of next term
• Custom timing: on a specific date, or immediately

Learn more about migration effective dates in our docs.

When you create, cancel, or modify a subscription, you can now pass Include-Changed-Resources: issued_immediately to return only the invoices that are payable right away, along with any voided invoices and credit note changes. You get the changes you need to act on now without waiting for the full set of future-dated invoices.

• The header now also accepts all to return every changed resource, equivalent to the previous true value.
• issued_immediately is a more complete alternative to payable_invoices. Note that payable_invoices will be deprecated in favor of issued_immediately.

Learn more about changed resources in our docs.

You can now choose which subscriptions a plan version migration applies to by uploading a list of subscription IDs. Use it to migrate a prioritized subset first, run start-of-cycle migrations for specific customers of yours, or carve out edge cases from a bulk run.

Previously, you had to pick subscriptions one at a time in the table or rely on filters.

• On a plan's Subscriptions tab, click Select subscriptions by CSV.
• Upload a CSV with one subscription ID per row in the first column (an optional Subscription ID header is supported), or a TXT file with one ID per line.
• Each upload can include up to 250 subscriptions.

You can now start as many plan version migrations as you need at once. Previously, running more than three migrations concurrently could cause them to fail. Now any migrations beyond that limit are queued automatically and start as soon as capacity frees up, so bulk plan changes no longer need to be spaced out by hand.

To follow progress, open the new Migrations tab under Plans > Migrations. It lists each migration with its plan, target version, created date, subscriptions migrated, and status:

• Queued
• Scheduling
• Completed
• Action needed

When you create a subscription or schedule a plan change in the dashboard, the Subscription preview step now shows the full invoicing impact before you confirm. Previously, these flows previewed only the next upcoming invoice.

The preview matches the one used when editing a subscription or migrating plan versions, and covers the next 12 months of changes:

• Invoices that will be added, updated, deleted, or voided
• Credit notes the change will issue
• Proration and its effect on downstream invoices
