autumn-add-usage-tracking

Feature gating and usage tracking in a SaaS application is implemented by integrating Autumn SDKs across your frontend and backend. This establishes a check, work, and track flow to control access and meter real-time consumption per customer.

Backend enforcement for API feature gating works by validating user policies and quotas server-side before processing requests. This protects resources by ensuring API access is only granted when a customer's plan and usage limits allow it.

To prompt users to upgrade when approaching usage limits, you integrate the Autumn frontend SDK to monitor consumption metrics. When usage nears the quota threshold, the SDK triggers upgrade prompts to guide the user through plan changes.

Yes, you can use Autumn for per-customer quota management in API-driven services. It applies policy-based access control to measure actual consumption and enforce specific limits for individual customers.

The check work track flow for usage metering is a sequence where the backend checks a user's remaining quota, executes the requested work, and then records the actual consumption. This ensures accurate usage tracking and policy enforcement.
