Meter
The definition of something you meter — seats, GB, API calls, GMV.
Overview
A Meter is the unit you measure — 'seat', 'gb', 'api-call', 'gmv'. It carries no money on its own. To bill on a Meter you attach a Variable Component, which adds a pricing model on top. One Meter can power many components (a 'seats' meter might back a flat-rate seat charge in one bundle and a tiered seat charge in another). You no longer need to create a Meter before creating a component — leave it unset and Revvly provisions one automatically from the component's name; binding to an existing Meter is available as an advanced option when you deliberately want to share usage-tracking identity across components. Meters live in Settings → Meters; the internal field and API parameter names (variableType, variableSlug, variableId) predate the rename and are kept for backward compatibility.
