Hi,
I’m building an integration that uses currently_entitled_amount_cents from the APIv2 Members endpoint to gate access to benefits. My app checks whether a member has paid at least a certain threshold (e.g. 300 cents / $3.00) before granting access.
I’m considering enabling the Autopilot “Free member upgrade offer” feature, which sends free members a one-time discount (e.g. 10%) on their first month. Before I do, I need to understand how this affects the API.
My specific question:
If a patron subscribes to a $3.00 tier using a 10% first-month discount and actually pays $2.70 — what value does currently_entitled_amount_cents return during that first billing period?
- Does it return the discounted amount actually paid (e.g.
270)? - Or does it return the tier’s nominal price (e.g.
300), regardless of the discount?
I cannot easily test this myself because Autopilot sends discount offers to users automatically and randomly — I have no way to trigger a discounted sign-up on a test account without also exposing the offer to real users.
I’ve searched the docs and this forum but couldn’t find any explicit documentation or discussion covering this specific case. The Patreon Currency Updates article recommends using currently_entitled_tiers instead of amount_cents for benefit gating, but doesn’t clarify what currently_entitled_amount_cents reflects when a discount is applied.
Has anyone observed this behavior, or is there official documentation I may have missed?
Thanks!
