Removes legacy usage-based billingBreaking changes

What’s new

We’ve removed support for legacy usage-based billing. You can no longer create a price with a usage_type of metered without a specified meter. We’ve also removed the billing_thresholds from the subscription endpoints.

We’ve removed billing_thresholds and aggregate_usage from all API endpoints. You can no longer create legacy usage-based prices or attach existing legacy usage-based prices to quotes, upcoming invoices, or subscriptions.

A legacy usage-based price is defined as a price with a usage_type of metered without a specified meter.

Why is this a breaking change?

Removed billing_thresholds from Subscription endpoints.
Removed aggregate_usage from Price endpoints.
Using usage_type of metered without a specified meter now returns an error on Price creation.
Removed support for attaching prices of usage_type=metered without a set meter to Subscriptions, Subscription Schedules and Quotes.
