The Scenario
End of month. Your finance lead needs the usage-based billing reconciliation done before Friday close. You have 600 Lemon Squeezy usage records from May — API calls billed at the subscription item level — that need to match against your internal usage logs to catch any discrepancies before the invoices finalize.
Your internal logs are already in the workbook. What's missing is the Lemon Squeezy side. There is no CSV export for usage records in the Lemon Squeezy dashboard. You've looked.
The bad version:
- Write a script to pull usage records from the Lemon Squeezy API, handle pagination (100 records per page), parse the JSON response
- Import the resulting CSV into Excel, fix the column format mismatches, normalize the timestamp format to match your internal logs
- Run a VLOOKUP to find discrepancies
- Realize the Lemon Squeezy timestamps are UTC and your internal logs are in local time — normalize again
- Get the reconciliation to your finance lead an hour past the deadline
Usage-based reconciliation is already complex. Building the data pipeline for it shouldn't be.

You want to match against your internal log
For each row in the Internal Log sheet where Column D is blank, find the matching Lemon Squeezy usage record by subscription item ID and month, write the Lemon Squeezy quantity into Column D, and flag rows where quantities differ by more than 5 in Column E
