  While so far, Chargebee relied on the invoice date of the invoice to calculate overages, there was revenue leakage identified in cases like closing pending invoices, or sometimes the generation of invoices.

  ## Webhook Fired on Subscription_Entitlement Creation

  To avoid making an extra API call for fetching entitlements every time a new subscription is created. We now allow you to configure and receive a webhook whose payload comprises of the subscription entitlements for the corresponding subscription Id. This will reduce the implementation time of entitlements compared to implementing the JSON metadata-based solution.
</Update>
