Get invoice API Reference

GET
/tenants/{tenant}/invoices/{name}

Retrieve a specific invoice by name. Invoice names are server-controlled: usually “{tenant}-{YYYYMMDD}” where the date is the billing period start (e.g. “acme-20260301” for the period beginning 1 March 2026), but variants exist. Final invoices — generated on tenant or subscription cancellation — carry a “-final” suffix (e.g. “acme-20260301-final”) and cover usage between the last regular invoice and the cancellation moment; a timestamp-suffixed form (“{tenant}-{YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS}”) is used when two billing periods start on the same date. Always look up the actual name via list first rather than constructing it. Response includes detailed line items with per-resource cost breakdowns. All amounts exclude VAT; tax is applied by Paddle at payment. Phase is one of Draft, Billed, Paid, or PastDue.

conditions

Conditions are the latest observations of the invoice’s state (Kubernetes meta/v1 Condition shape). Notably, an ObservabilityDegraded condition with status “True” flags a partial invoice — observability usage data was incomplete for part of the period, so metered charges may be understated.
