BillingMeterEvent

Meter events represent actions that customers take in your system. You can use meter events to bill a customer based on their usage. Meter events are associated with billing meters, which define both the contents of the event’s payload and how to aggregate those events.

# `t`

```elixir
@type t() :: %Stripe.Resources.Billing.MeterEvent{
  created: integer(),
  event_name: String.t(),
  identifier: String.t(),
  livemode: boolean(),
  object: String.t(),
  payload: %{required(String.t()) => String.t()},
  timestamp: integer()
}
```

* `created` - Time at which the object was created. Measured in seconds since the Unix epoch. Format: Unix timestamp.
* `event_name` - The name of the meter event. Corresponds with the `event_name` field on a meter. Max length: 100.
* `identifier` - A unique identifier for the event. Max length: 5000.
* `livemode` - Has the value `true` if the object exists in live mode or the value `false` if the object exists in test mode.
* `object` - String representing the object's type. Objects of the same type share the same value. Possible values: `billing.meter_event`.
* `payload` - The payload of the event. This contains the fields corresponding to a meter's `customer_mapping.event_payload_key` (default is `stripe_customer_id`) and `value_settings.event_payload_key` (default is `value`). Read more about the [payload](https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/usage-based/meters/configure#meter-configuration-attributes).
* `timestamp` - The timestamp passed in when creating the event. Measured in seconds since the Unix epoch. Format: Unix timestamp.
