In-arrears fixed fees on the credit ledger

In-arrears fixed fees can now be denominated in virtual currencies (custom credits). These fees will automatically deduct from customers' prepaid credit balances, similar to usage-based fees.

This enhancement enables new pricing scenarios — for example, you can now set enterprise support fees in credits that draw from the customer's prepaid enterprise commitment rather than triggering a separate charge.

Remove a Credit Block by Voiding the Original Balance

We’re excited to share that Orb now allows users to remove credit blocks from the credit ledger. This can be done by voiding the original credit block amount through the “adjust credits” workflow on the customer page within the UI. This new capability is particularly helpful for correcting errors in credit block creation or removing a block in case of a refund for a credit grant.

Credit Allocations

Customers can now receive an allocation of credits – of one or more currency units – automatically as part of their subscription. Allocations can be configured in the ‘create plan’ flow and overridden on a per-subscription basis, with an amount, optional rollover behavior, and cadence. Whereas the set of usage-based prices on the subscription determines how Orb will deduct credits from the balance (or accrue them as overages on the invoice), allocations allow you to set up a recurring schedule of increments on the customer’s credit ledger. Because allocations are configured at the plan-level, Orb allows you to standardize credit treatment and ensure consistency across thousands of customers.

Automatic Top-Ups

Orb supports automatic top-ups, which are triggered when a customer's credit balance falls below a certain threshold. This is useful for ensuring that customers have enough credit balance to cover their usage, and can be configured to automatically top-up by a fixed amount at a specific cost basis, including issuing an invoice.
