Why did my billed revenue jump in Autumn?

The Autumn help pages give 4 common reasons. The first to rule out: Usage beyond what a plan includes is billed at the end of the billing period, so a whole period's usage can land on one day.

Is it broken, or just quiet?

A number can fall because fewer people came, or because something stopped counting them. Below are the causes the Autumn help pages give, and how to check each one yourself.

What causes it?

  1. Usage beyond what a plan includes is billed at the end of the billing period, so a whole period's usage can land on one day.

    In the Autumn help: At the end of the billing period, Autumn generates a Stripe invoice for the total overage Usage-Based Pricing, read 2026-11-12.

  2. An upgrade adds a charge for the price difference over the rest of the cycle, so upgrades can lift billing between renewals.

    In the Autumn help: the customer is charged the prorated difference between the old and new plan prices for the remainder of the billing cycle. Proration, read 2026-11-12.

  3. Trials that end without a cancellation turn into charges on the day they end, so many trials started together can be billed together.

    In the Autumn help: If the customer doesn't cancel before the trial ends, their card is automatically charged. Trials, read 2026-11-12.

  4. A customer who takes the same plan a second time is billed at once rather than getting another trial, as Autumn's docs explain.

    In the Autumn help: If they try to attach the same plan again, the trial is skipped and they're billed immediately. Trials, read 2026-11-12.

How do I check it myself?

  1. Look for prorated amounts on recent invoices, which can also be charged right away depending on setup, to see how much of a jump came from plan changes.

    In the Autumn help: Prorated amounts appear as line items on the customer's next invoice Proration, read 2026-11-12.

  2. Check whether customers used up their included amount, since only usage past it is charged.

    In the Autumn help: Usage first draws down from the included amount (if any) at no charge Usage-Based Pricing, read 2026-11-12.

How does Autumn work with Feder?

  • Connect Autumn to Feder and it joins your Money apps.
  • When you connect Autumn, Feder checks the connection straight away and shows Connected only when that check passes. If a reading cannot be taken later, Feder shows it as not read, never as zero.

Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.

See whether you can trust the numbers in Autumn, one of your Money apps. Feder only reads. It never changes anything in Autumn.

Where do these answers come from?
