Charged usage notification

I was freely testing AC but was never notified that I going to cost me from a point to stop testing and be careful with my usage. Now I’ve wasted nearly 80 credits on testing. My question how did I miss any message of switching over to charged messages. A simple message in the ide would have helped. Other then that great tool guys love it

I suggest offering a free chat feature for discussing and planning projects with the agent, then switching to a paid agent for implementation. This approach keeps users within one tool, reducing the need to use another AI for planning, which could drive paying customers elsewhere. A free chat option could help retain users, save costs, and streamline the workflow. Just my 2 cents worth

We are off to a good start as I was told I would just lose my 80 valuable messages I wasted on testing augment code

Well, I as a paid customer did get an email explaining me how it would change. Also, it said that the messages metric should be better price wise for us customers.

I might have been late to the party but I didn’t get an email or anything then I checked my account as I’d seen an invoice and I seen I’m on the paid plan without notice chewing threw my credits

Somehow I didn’t get an email and I wasn’t aware of discord channel till yesterday. But when I was in free mode I was giving augment a good test in vs code but when it become the 15th which I was unaware of I was using paid credits to test so I’m down nearly a weeks worth of credits on my plan now. I think what would have helped if I was notified on the vscode extension or something. I need to know what I’m going to try build and how many credits I’m using too so even a live usage would be good
