FA-59751 / Subscription proration billing / Open access

Metered usage split at a mid-period price change: segment pricing · case 01

Usage before an upgrade is billed at the new price.

ROOT CAUSE

Both segments are priced at the new unit price.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Restore the contract rule at the segment pricing step: use `return [agg(before) * x['old_unit'], agg(after) * x['new_unit']]`.

Unsuccessful approach: The attempt swaps the prices between segments.

Case contract

Input {events: [[day, qty]], change day, old_unit, new_unit, agg sum|max|last}. Events are ordered by day (stable). Events before the change day are aggregated and priced at old_unit; events on or after it at new_unit. Empty segments aggregate to 0; last means the chronologically last quantity. Return [old_charge, new_charge].

Why this case matters

Metered usage must be attributed to the price in effect when it occurred, with the aggregation mode applied per segment.

Verification & scope

A deterministic teaching model of a stipulated billing rule. It makes no claim to reproduce any billing provider's exact behaviour and is not billing software. This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.
