> The article is correct that calculating MRR is difficult and requires access to your billing data.

Then Stripe should provide the metric as an API and precalculate it. (They already have as it powers their dashboards, it's just inaccessible via API access.)

It's extremely frustrating that external metrics dashboards report MRR as significantly higher than it actually is.

It makes me distrust and dislike Stripe that such a core figure is absent in their API. There should be zero excuse for not providing it. It's a ridiculous omission.

I've spent too much time trying to solve this and it disappoints me.
