## TL;DR

Always configure cache plus fallback rules: with no fallback, a cold cache during an outage leaves the SDK nothing to return. Gate each request with getMeteredEntitlement passing the amount the customer is about to consume as requestedUsage.

## Fix

1. Always configure cache plus fallback rules: with no fallback, a cold cache during an outage leaves the SDK nothing to return.
   Expected: You get the expected result; the problem is gone.

## When to use

- You are setting up or using this Stigg gating feature.
- The symptom matches: call getMeteredEntitlement with requestedUsage, then report usage.

## When NOT to use
