About OpenMeter
OpenMeter rebuilds its API around v3 entitlements, notifications and billing.
OpenMeter is an open-source usage metering and billing engine still on 1.0.0 betas. The September and October betas moved customer entitlements, notification channels and rules, and app actions into a v3 API, while dozens of fixes tightened invoicing, charges and custom-currency billing. Its feed has been quiet since October 9.
