Meter Event Adjustments v2

A billing meter event adjustment is a resource that allows you to cancel a meter event. For example, you might create a billing meter event adjustment to cancel a meter event that was created in error or attached to the wrong customer.

Meter Event Streams v2

You can send a higher-throughput of meter events using meter event streams. For this flow, you must first create a meter event session, which will provide you with a session token. You can then create meter events through the meter event stream endpoint, using the session token for authentication. The session tokens are short-lived and you will need to create a new meter event session when the token expires.

Meter Event Summary 

A billing meter event summary represents an aggregated view of a customer’s billing meter events within a specified timeframe. It indicates how much usage was accrued by a customer for that period.

Note: Meters events are aggregated asynchronously so the meter event summaries provide an eventually consistent view of the reported usage.
