Autumn uses Stripe subscriptions under the hood to handle recurring billing. When you attach a plan to a customer, Autumn creates the Stripe subscription and provisions feature balances automatically. When a subscription is created, Autumn provisions balances for each feature in the plan. Balances determine what the customer can access and track how much they’ve used. For example, a Pro plan might grant 1,000 API requests per month—this becomes a balance that decrements as the customer uses your product. Balances can also be created for credit systems (eg, $10 credits per month) and boolean toggle features (eg, access to a premium analytics dashboard).
