Notes

  • Built-in meters cannot be deleted. They are part of the platform and may be referenced by built-in plans.
  • Custom meters can be deleted only if they are not referenced by any plan. Plan reference = "in use" — remove from plans first.
  • Meters are global. Once defined, every plan can reference them with its own included quantity and overage price.
  • Snake_case enforcement on the name is deliberate — meter names show up in webhooks and CSV exports, so they need to be machine-friendly.
