Sav0narolaQ: WTF is happening with my Credits? It takes 5 times more than it should! Next Bug detected?
I bought Merlin today. I made a rather complicated prompt and activated "Merlin Magic".
It used Sonnet, priced with 25 credits. It took away 125 instead. I tried a dedicated GPT mini prompt, priced with 1 credit and it took 5 credits away.
What is this?!

Edited Nov 27, 2024A: The models consume a few credits more if they are on large context mode depending upon the amount of text in your prompt or attachments provided. You can try reducing the amount of text input or turning off Merlin Magic to optimize this.
Poe is probably the better deal, this time around.
What deal and where, Max?

And HOW do you think one would estimate his usage and budget with credits?
I entered only 4 lines of text. The fetch of a mentioned URL was the "large context".
And "A few" is legit 5 times for you?
It makes Sonnet cost 125 credits instead of the mentioned 25.
Then it costs 125 MORE with EVERY single reply in that thread.
Is that intended behavior?
Hi @Sav0narola, I asked the tech team. The 5x query consumption for long context is only supposed to be for the smaller models. This is unfortunately not intended behaviour. Sincere apologies -- we're fixing this. Thanks for reporting your feedback!
You're welcome. It makes me feel bad that you as "founder" need to ask the tech team to find out if this is intended behavior. But we get it, I guess, social media managers, ghostwriters, etc.
Another UX feedback:
I'm coming from Perplexity (they removed Opus and suddenly I can't work anymore) and I feel anxious seeing all these credits running down. The AI misunderstands me, boom 125 gone :D
For me in AI, it’s really hard to commit to Lifetime Deals. I even don’t pay yearly for Cursor because every day now a better alternative could emerge. Once the market cools down and the winners are clear going long-term might be an option, but for now committing to any kind of price structure for life doesn’t makes sense because prices are dropping so quickly.
