New Credit System – Costs Too High and Still Deducts When It Says "No Credit Charge"

Hi everyone,

I wanted to bring up something I noticed after the latest update to the credit system.

Recently, I tried generating just three small code snippets – nothing complex – and it already used up 50 credits. That’s way too much compared to before.

What’s more frustrating is that the system sometimes shows a message saying “this action will not count towards your credit”, yet credits are still deducted. This makes it hard to trust the displayed information and to plan usage properly.

Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
If this is a bug, I hope the team can fix it soon. If it’s intentional, I think it needs to be rebalanced – right now it feels overpriced for the amount of content generated.

Would love to hear if others have similar issues or found any workarounds.

Hi @huaduyminh ,

Would you be able to provide us with your Public API Key so we can look into this for you?

Thanks.

I couldn’t agree more, were using it in the middle of my project and suddenly it jumped from 120 credits over multiple projects over 3-5 days to 500 in minutes? and generated nothing? Paying 30$ to get a few snippets of code is just unfair and wrong..

Too crazy, that’s a scam. I think builder.io should review their skills, that’s too harmful to users.

The credit system before could still work but now 30$ without any value…
