CostGraph reports each customer’s attributed cloud spend to an Autumn meter as usage events. Autumn turns them into invoices through Stripe. The shared model, tag rules, and nightly behavior are on the Billing exports page.

​
Before you begin

  • Create a meter in Autumn and attach a price to it. Price per cent, or use Autumn’s billing units to group 100 units into one priced dollar.
  • Copy a secret key from Developer > Secret keys. A sandbox key exercises the whole flow without invoicing anyone.

1

Connect the account

In Integrations, click Autumn and enter the secret key. CostGraph verifies the key against Autumn before it saves anything, and stores it encrypted.
2

Bind a meter

Bind an autumn_ tag key to one of your Autumn meters through the CostGraph API.

​
Tag spend by customer

The tag value must be an Autumn customer id. Autumn creates a customer the first time it sees an id, so a mistyped tag value becomes a new billable customer. Check the tag’s values before you bind the meter, and review what was reported after any rule change.

​
Event payload

Each customer-day is one usage event on the meter, carrying the shared reconciliation fields as properties you can group by in Autumn.

​
Autumn behavior

Autumn bills every event into the customer’s current cycle. A correction to an old day appears on the next invoice, and usage_date shows which day it belongs to.
