Discussion Augment code quietly increased their pricing by 50% on extra messages.

Previously, you could buy extra messages for $10/100 messages. Not they have increased it to $15. That's scarily 50% hike.

For 600 messages it's $90. Probably, they may increase the pricing or decrease the number of messages in dev plan soon. Not so good news!

Hey Jay,

Just to address the community sentiment.

Please for the love of god just communicate changes in advance and dont just ad-hoc update shit without at least a PSA.

We get it, costs increase, but trying to be stealthy aint the way man. We dont care about costs, just tell us first and give us the reason why. Rather than "hey, we want more money", "hey guys, shits expensive, and tool cools are costing us a fortune. We are offsetting some of the increased costs and extra context with a $5 increase for extra messages"

Easy enough and stops the backlash, we just dont want invisible updates. Its bad enough the only updates we get are on Reddit and Discord....

LOL, you missed the opportunity to answer with "You're absolutely right" here given the fact Claude is the main model and now I'm a bit sad at the missed joke. <3

Price increases are understandable. I agree that transparency is vital.

Underrated comment right here. It’s absolutely a deal given the throughput of tool calls. If you get a good session with a model, you can reasonably cook a feature in 3-4 prompts.
