v2.3August 2026

SaaS hardening — lifecycle emails, GDPR deletion, billing accuracy, quota fixes

  • New
    Self-service account deletion — Settings → Danger zone now permanently deletes all data (GDPR/DPDPA compliant). Requires typing DELETE to confirm.
  • New
    Full lifecycle email suite — upgrade confirmation, cancellation, access revoked, trial expired, and 24h trial reminder all fire automatically at the right moment
  • New
    Welcome email now shows exact trial expiry date in a prominent banner — no more hunting for when the trial ends
  • New
    Billing history shows type badge per row — First payment, Renewal, or Failed — with colour coding
  • New
    Billing history now includes monthly renewals and failed payment events, not just the first payment
  • Fixed
    Usage dashboard now reads the Redis counter directly — same source as the API enforcer — eliminating the 60-second drift between displayed and enforced quota
  • Fixed
    80% quota warning could fire twice under concurrent load — now uses Redis SET NX so exactly one email fires per billing period
  • Fixed
    Support tickets were routing to the wrong email address — now correctly routes to support@predintel.zohodesk.in
  • Fixed
    Upgrading plans could create a second Razorpay subscription without cancelling the old one — now cancels the previous subscription before activating the new one
  • Fixed
    Past-due accounts being expired were incorrectly granted 250 quota (trial level) — now correctly set to 0
  • Fixed
    Password change form now hidden for Google/GitHub OAuth users who have no password to change
  • Fixed
    subscription.halted webhook event (Razorpay gives up after all retries) now handled — marks past_due and notifies the user
  • Fixed
    Downgrade guard added to checkout — a direct POST cannot silently downgrade an active paid plan, returns 409
  • Improved
    Days left in usage page now uses the actual Razorpay billing period end date, not the calendar month end
v2.2August 2026

Dashboard accuracy — real expiry dates, quota performance, Redis AI sub-quota

  • Fixed
    Dashboard past-due banner showed hardcoded '7 days' — now shows the actual billing period end date from the subscription record
  • Fixed
    Quota gate was hitting Supabase COUNT(*) on every API request (50–200ms); replaced with Redis INCR — now sub-millisecond, seeds from DB only on first call of each billing period
  • Fixed
    AI sub-quota was completely broken — ilike with pipe-separated values never matched; fixed with Redis INCR per tier per calendar month
  • New
    Auto API key creation on signup — new users get a 'Default' key immediately, no manual step required
  • New
    Admin customer diagnostic drawer — calls this month, all-time, last API call status, last webhook event, open tickets
  • Fixed
    Webhook env guard — Razorpay webhook now returns 500 instead of crashing if RAZORPAY_WEBHOOK_SECRET is unset
  • Improved
    Stale endpoint counts removed — status page and MCP docs now read from the live namespaces registry, not hardcoded strings
  • Improved
    Footer version bump to v1.2.0
v2.1August 2026

Admin control plane — customers, diagnostics, maintenance mode, billing accuracy

  • New
    Admin customers page — search, segment filter, individual email, broadcast to segments, create support tickets on behalf of customers
  • New
    Per-user diagnostic drawer — calls this month, calls all-time, last API call details, last webhook event, open tickets, all live
  • New
    Maintenance mode — toggle in Admin → Settings now writes to Redis instantly; all /api/v1/* requests return 503 while ON
  • Fixed
    Cancelled subscriptions showed 'Renews [date]' on the billing page — now correctly shows 'Active until [date] · Will not renew'
  • Fixed
    Payment failed email said '7 days' access — now shows the actual billing period end date from the subscription record
  • Improved
    Reconciliation cron — stale paid sub detection is now log-only; Razorpay owns retry and cancellation via webhooks, app never acts unilaterally
v2.0August 2026

World-class hardening — rate limit headers, payment emails, billing sync

  • New
    Retry-After and X-RateLimit-Reset headers on all 429 responses — adaptive clients can back off precisely
  • New
    X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, X-Quota-Limit, X-Quota-Remaining on every successful response
  • New
    Payment failure email — Razorpay webhook now sends a branded HTML email with grace period notice and billing link
  • New
    Past-due banner in dashboard and billing page — users with failed payments see a clear red alert with update link
  • Improved
    Billing period sync — subscription current_period_start/end now fetched directly from Razorpay API at payment time, never guessed
  • Improved
    Plan expiry cron — now expires past-due subscriptions when Razorpay's current_period_end passes, not an arbitrary 7-day timer
  • Fixed
    Billing and usage pages now correctly show plan details for past-due subscriptions, not free tier defaults
  • Fixed
    Delete account button no longer uses alert() — routes to support form instead
  • Fixed
    Status page recipe health check was using wrong query param (q=pasta → query=chicken)
  • Improved
    Isolated Upstash Redis database — APlicious now has its own Redis instance, separated from other products
v1.9August 2026
