Frequently asked questions

Why reconcile if I already report usage?

Dropped or duplicated events happen; reconciliation catches them before customers are billed incorrectly.

Can I automate the fix?

Sync verified corrections to Stripe automatically, but hold larger discrepancies for a human to confirm.
