Metered reading analytics: meter_remaining tracking standard #20

Description

@possiblyshellen

Summary

Standardize how publishers track meter_remaining decrements across API and browser contexts for metered access grant types.

Context

The meter_remaining claim is defined in Section 8.3.3 as a decrementing counter per content retrieval. However, there's no spec for how readers should report decrements, how to handle concurrent access, or how meter state syncs across API and browser contexts.

Responsibilities

  • Define the decrement API for metered access
  • Handle edge cases: concurrent access, offline reading, sync across multiple readers
  • Ensure meter state doesn't violate user privacy
  • Coordinate with the refresh token rotation flow to prevent count mismatches
