Roll-over of Pro Credits
Next Code Systems
yea

I also demanded for this feature on the Discord channel, and your very 'unhelpful' support personnel jested about it and brushed it off. This is the reason I hardly pay for Pro. I can't and won't pay for what I won't be using or for what might go to waste.

I have 2,800 left for this month. Some months I use them, some months I don’t. Please prioritize adding a rollover feature for unused credits so they don’t go to waste.

ali naman the base model is good enough

Bhavesh Some months I use all of it, base is not enough for me. It should be either fixed with rollover, or pay as you go.

I agree to Serge suggestion - roll-over credits but also make some hard limit for example, max 2000 saved prompt credits and 5-6 K flow action credits (to avoid infinite stacking and user's exploiting system). That may be the win-win situation.

Yes!! I agree!

It's very simple.
Do the math and come up with a real monthly pricing model.
Changing it from month to month trying to use a mobile "minutes" plan type of thing is going to be fraught with confusion and complexity, and yes, angry developers.
Even if it comes out to be a little higher, at least the price is the price, and even while grumbling, it isn't a moving target.
You guys HAVE to figure in that most of folk's credits are being used to explain, have the AI break the code, fix the broken code, re-explain, just to have the AI rebreak the code.
The only way I see that being fixed, is to allow higher contexts and more than 200 editable/analyze-able lines, to allow us larger codebases.
Right now? If I was to spend 10-60$ a month on a physical screwdriver, at least I know that it won't suddenly forget that it's a screwdriver and try to be a hammer.
What's the point of trying to craft prompts if they're just "suggestions" to the AI?
If I tell it "ANY CODE WRITTEN, will include try/catch blocks" or "analyze the codebase BEFORE writing NEW code, to make sure it doesn't already exist" for example, that's what I mean.

Yeah, we know you need funding, but you're not leveraging dependency correctly (understood as access to a powerful tool at a truly affordable price). Instead of trying to squeeze every transaction from a few high-paying customers (the ones that are letting you squeeze them out for now... us, on this page...), branding yourselves as “overpriced” (which you really aren’t, and that's why you need to listen to your market share), consider giving everyday users, even those on a tight budget, the chance to do amazing things at a cheap price. This approach will earn you loyalty; trust me, it's humans out here using your product, building your reputation, talking about you, talking to you, trusting you, expecting we "have a deal."
We're simply asking that you respect the fact that if we pay for 500 credits and don't use them, they shouldn’t be reset. By doing so, you're essentially saying that what we've paid for doesn't matter—we don’t matter—even though we haven't asked for a refund and even though we aren’t even sure if you've actually used the money we paid.
Wait, what are we paying for? We’re not "funding you" out of love... we’re not Jesus, and we’re not dumb either... so why are we paying you? We’re paying because we’re actually buying credits, which give us the right to use your great service and the right to access your product. Otherwise, instead of using a credit-based system, you could just charge us for time capsules, regular time, and give us access to better software/models at higher prices. But since you are encapsulating premium time into credits—like small, more consumable bites of something bigger that we can't afford upfront—and we are actually buying them, why would you take away what we’ve already paid for?

CASSANI CASAS if the app helps. Pay for it. Don't be like that. They have to feed their family

If we are purchasing time ("computing time capsules"), then it should expire based on used time, not unused time. If we are purchasing the right to use a service for X amount of time—premium time or cheap time, doesn’t really matter which—then credits should remain available until we use them. Mixing both concepts to your convenience means you're charging for time without guaranteeing access, after some unused time which you determine... That’s like saying, "I’m giving you funding to review your software or pricing policy," pun completely intended, but "if you don’t do it in the time I dictate, you have to give me my money back." Sure, you can do that—but in the long run, it’s going to cost you, because it feels like an actual scam...
On the other hand, when competitors roll out lower-priced products, you'll risk losing the "loyalty" of your users. I say "loyalty" because you don't really have it unless both parties know it's valued. Even if individual customers with limited purchasing power seem insignificant and troublesome, collectively they can inflate your user base and position you as a market leader. If one "brokey" pays 10 bucks and doesn’t feel robbed, he will tell his "brokey" friend to give you another 10 bucks— even more so if you make your values public and clear...

CASSANI CASAS Frankly, this is why I use Github co-pilot; once co-pilot/or any new competitor catches up in prices and features, I'm done with Windsurf.

Particularly since your service area now extends well beyond traditional high-income zones—thanks in part to AI—ignoring this broader market share of "brokeys" (which, sure, may not seem as interesting in terms of ROI, no novelty here…) will cost you big chunks of users. And when that happens, cheaper alternatives will rise, pushing you into a damaging price war. Eventually, a free tool will emerge that completely dismantles your business. And honestly? We won’t care more than you cared.
But hey... if money is all that matters... you can focus solely on companies that fill your pockets and forget about the loyalty of those who paid while you were still affordable and developing...
Don’t be like Sam Altman, or whatever his name is... he smells like greed, and we humans know it.
Keep up the good work, we love you! We need you! We count on you!
We also hope you hear us out because, in the end, we want to see you grow.
