- Handle billing cycles and minimize usage drift into the next billing cycle

- Deliver usage exactly once to avoid under and over-billing

- Stripe requires to report usage on Subscription Items

I'm curious about what people do to build our usage reporting. Do you use message queues? Workflow management software like Temporal? Simple CRON job?
