stripe billing thresholds invoice early unexpected

The actual problem

Billing thresholds fire mid-cycle invoices customers didn’t expect — chargebacks and cancel spikes follow.

Do this

1. List subscriptions with billing_thresholds set; confirm product copy matches.
2. Prefer period-end invoicing unless usage truly needs thresholds.
3. Warn in-app before a threshold invoice is created.
4. Watch dispute rate 14 days after any threshold change.
