How do I set subscription quantity?

After upgrading from 2.3.0 -> 2.4.0, I’m getting the following error message: “Received both items and quantity parameters. Please pass in only one.”

Looking at the docs, it seems like you need to pass quantity in the items price dictionary but the code in 2.4.0 doesn’t offer that flexibility.

What is the recommended approach to create a new subscription with a quantity > 1? Create a subscription and then subsequently call the update function? Won’t this create two invoices?

@onekiloparsec In the next release UsageRecord and UsageRecordSummary models will be available and syncing should work. Please note that Stripe doesn’t expose a way to retrieve UsageRecord objects directly so we sync them at creation time, similar to how you have done.

from djstripe.models import UsageRecord

# create and sync UsageRecord object
UsageRecord.create(id=<SUBSCRIPTION_ITEM_ID>, quantity=<SUBSCRIPTION_ITEM_QUANTITY>, timestamp=timestamp)

Eesh, sorry. Yeah this sucks a bit, will get it addressed for 2.5.0.

Try with charge_immediately=False in the mean time, I think it creates a draft invoice / you may be able to edit the invoice for a short time still. If that doesn’t work, you might have to copy the function locally for the time being and edit it to your liking.
