can’t help but wonder how this is even possible
if effort based pricing is to be believed then the 2nd task should have ben $0.97 or less.
135 actions / $8.78 is about $0.065/action
15 actions * $0.065 = $0.97, but i was chareged more than double that rate.
But it was more work to take an api endpoint and style a button that allws me to use it easily from the UI? (2nd task)
(1st task was to build out an entire series of five or six complex email automation drips, including:
All of that was done for $8.78. I asked follow-up questions, and I got charged $2. It feels a bit like a catch-up mechanic to me in order to get more out of the pricing. Just something to look into if Replit actually does read all these things, because that doesn’t seem accurate.)
I am going to open a ticket with them for everything after agent 4 launch. I got ahead of myself praising them the other day, because it seemed to fix an issue for pretty cheap that I had previously (to be honest hadn’t really bothered addressing since it was a backend issue not affecting orders or customers) but all other mission critical tasks have been insanely expensive it feels. I did an update last night it should have been a simple fix and the agent kept going and did not stop when asking it to, it must have gone on for 5 extra minutes after i asked it to cancel so I could regroup and re-prompt the task. It seems to not have charged me much for those, it says I only paid $2-$3 for that 20 minute ordeal Bu/t i know i was charged $30 for something the other day that just went on and on beyond the scope of what I asked, The new tasks management is confusing and the plan / build mode should be drop down again so you KNOW what mode you are in. I feel like the ui changes and workflow changes are a step backward, the coding might be good but feel like every time a major change happens I lose $120-$200 in trying to figure out the new temperature of the agent and with a huge codebase like mine its tough. @kody-replit Is there anything that can be done to get back some of those credits, I spend alot of money on Replit, over $1000 per month easily but the jump to Agent 4 for sure had be burn through more while trying to learn the new workflows, and to be honest I still am, I’ve stopped for the next week and don’t really want to do any changes until things level out like the Agent 3 launch, we had the same problems and it seemed about 2-3 weeks time before things were working well again.
yeah i hear ya may be time to sit and wait. Agent 3 was a nightmare and they did very little in terms of credits or issues and i’m a similar $1000+ month user. I still have an outstanding ticket from over a month ago, reached out 3 times and then i just gave up and had to figure out a workaround myself…. its still out there un answered. I love replit but am not loving this poor customer service and blanket updates without proper rollback and safety measures for people that sound like you and me who run business critical CI/CD applications to actually leverage ai coding in a meaningful way… but hey i’m not a pro user, i’m just a peasant to i get it i guess…
