Problem

DigitalOcean's Financial Analytics team needs a monthly view of customer satisfaction for active paid accounts. Write a PostgreSQL query for January through April 2025.

Requirements

Return one row for every calendar month in the reporting period, including months with no valid responses.
Include only customers with an active paid subscription during each month and exclude internal accounts.
For each customer and month, retain only the most recent CSAT response.
Exclude NULL and out-of-range scores, where valid CSAT scores are integers from 1 through 5.
Return the monthly average score, the previous month's average, and the month-over-month change. Round score values to two decimal places.
Sort results chronologically.
