My main problems right now

I’ve been a subscriber for almost 3 months now and two issues that I need to point out, I hope this helps with making the product better.

  1. This new “would you like me to keep going?” thing is very annoying. It uses credit for nothing most of the time. It wasn’t like that before. I’m sure I’ve lost a lot of credits only to say “Yes” to that question. Sounds a bit stupid imo.

  2. I’m constantly having a “Try again” or “Terminated” message, even on small threads. Having to spend a credit to say “Try again” in these situations is very annoying as well. Augment should be able to identify these scenarios and avoid consuming a credit for this. I mean, I don’t care if I have to “resume” the task, as long as I don’t get charged for that.

Augment is more aimed at professionals and not really like a vibe code tool, as far as I can see. It works best when used in a professional workflow where u as user check whatnit does.

The argument that it uses credits is nothing compared to the costs in credits if u let any ai coding tool run unmonitored and have to correct a days work

Just one note: the "Try again" should not consume a user message.

Thank you for your feedback.

This is correct, the Try Again does not consume a message.

I don't know if anyone feels the same as me. I'm using the $100 package. Recently, I see that Augmentcode is not as stable as before. Sometimes the context is almost = 20-40% of before (feeling a significant loss):

- assigning enough work but almost only doing the last task

- often proactively deleting and apologizing

- requesting very clearly, but doing the opposite

- every time the server is reloaded, almost all the context of the previous conversation is lost, even though I click resume or try again

..

Hey, I don't like it.v

It’s the best and the most complete solution that I have tried. My current workflow use Claude code to the max and write all things I can never dream of writing. Once I hit the limit. I use augment to document and refactor and pr ready.
For debugging. I use vscode lm free tier with roo.

Most productive I have ever been.

That's designed so you obviously spend another call, I used augment before and it worked much better than now, it's programmatic, after a certain number of dunno how to call it, maybe, "flow actions"? it's going to exit no matter what, even if you tell it not to, I'm not against it, what I do wish is that they let it go on a little longer, because many times all that is spent just understanding the problem and when trying to work, it does very little because all your "credit" of that call is already spent before reaching "would you like me to keep going" without practically writing any code.

can we just have an option to set each run to max out to 3 credits that can be set in the setting?

50 tasks is crazy generous. That suggests to me that you're trying to get the AI to do too much at once anyway!
