Hi, @mohammed-bahumaish. I'm Dosu, and I'm helping the better-auth team manage their backlog and am marking this issue as stale.

Issue Summary:

  • You requested adding support for a "Customer Balance approach" in the Stripe plugin to enable credit or usage-based billing instead of traditional subscriptions.
  • The goal is to manage billing through customer balances rather than subscription models.
  • No alternative solutions have been considered or proposed by you.
  • A team member, tboutron, asked if @himself65 is actively working on the usage plugin and offered help to finish the related PR.
  • The issue remains unresolved with no recent updates.

Next Steps:

  • Please let me know if this feature request is still relevant to the latest version of the better-auth repository by commenting on this issue.
  • If I do not hear back within 7 days, I will automatically close this issue.

Thank you for your understanding and contribution!
