By default, Subscript will create your usage-based invoices following the subscription dates and periods. Say you have a subscription like this:
Your billing periods are always from the 13th-12th of the month, and your invoices will be generated in the subsequent 13th of each month, in arrears.
In case you want to have your invoices follow the 1st of the month always, you’ll want the first invoice to be prorated (just for the days of Jan with usage on that subscription), and the next ones with the entire month of usage, until the last month, that will again be partial (just the last 12 days of Jan’26).
To make that happen, check the box below to prorate your subscriptions:
Yes, you can offset your invoices in days, so that they are created in the same month the usage-based revenue is generated, in a way you don’t have accrued revenue (serviced but unbilled) for them.
To do that, use the “Offset invoice date” setting, under Settings > Subscript Billing > Invoice Settings:
