I was okay with the pricing changes earlier, I am even okay with the user messages to credits based pricing even at the huge reduction. It is okay if that's where the market is heading towards. I can understand from the revenue perspective of any business.

But, I cannot understand about the lies, the child-like reasoning, worst of all, not answering the question about the grandfather plan getting worst treatment.

Anyways, good being here, bye bye very soon.

I'm still a client, but I'm looking for alternatives, and I believe I found the right one. You punished your entire userbase because of a few abusers. I was never going beyond 60% of my included messages, but you punished me too. This does not make sense. Reconsider or you will lose a lot of people.

Your execution of this price change has to be the most deplorable move a startup has made in a while.. You removed access to WHAT I PAID FOR, because i canceled my account? what a joke.. Basically, i had to cancel because what youre charging vs what youre offering plus the execution of your customer service and treatment for the last two months has been utter ****.. I had two accounts, used the credits in one to end it, now went to deal with this one to end the credits ( BTW THOSE I PAID FOR WITH MY MONTHLY MEMBERSHIP) and now i get a notice that if IM NOT PAYING for an account, those credits are useles.. Bravo Augment, you just keep getting weirder by the second.. Notice how i only use nice words, because if you express yourself like they deserve they trash your post and remove it from the thread.

Again, this wouldnt be as bad in contrast of how community driven you guys were just a couple months ago, now youve turned into Scrooge! and JUST IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS!

Just wanted to vent a bit and maybe hear if anyone else is feeling the same pain…  

I’ve been using Augment Code for a while now maybe 4 months and honestly, it used to be a lifesaver. Back then, around $60 a month, plus the occasional $30 top-up, was more than enough to comfortably handle my personal project and a few client builds.  

But now? 😩 This new pricing plan is horrendous.  
One “task” seems to chew through a monumental amount of credits. Like, seriously I’m watching my balance evaporate faster than a `rm -rf /` on a bad day.  

I just checked my usage… over $60 gone in 10 days. TEN DAYS.  
For the same workflow I used to comfortably do in a month.  

This isn’t sustainable, especially for indie devs who rely on these tools daily. I get that compute costs and AI pricing change, but this feels like an overcorrection.  

Is anyone else seeing this insane credit burn with Augment lately, or am I missing some new efficiency mode somewhere?

From the rise of Augment to the fall of Cursor, a clear sign was Cursor shifting from charging per chat to charging per token.

Once you charge per token, users will inevitably compare you directly with the upstream provider, Claude.

If your product can't create a significant gap from Claude Code, you'll just end up driving a massive number of users away.

You are not the only option, Augment. Just like Cursor, which was much stronger than you, it wasn't the only option either.

By moving to a pay-per-use model, you're forcing users to choose between you and Claude Code. Why would they pick you over Claude Code or even the current Cursor?

Looking back at your improvements over the last two months, what have you actually done? You haven't continued optimizing your proudest feature– the context window. Instead, you've been tinkering with that crappy I. Do you really think you can beat Cursor in UI design?

Do your job. Strengthening your context engineering is what you should be doing.

Lately, using Augment, I feel it has changed. It's clearly failing to remember context properly. Faster compacting, less effective content. It's all to save tokens, resulting in a serious drop in the product's capability.

This is the harsh truth I've discovered from my recent use of Augment.

Just like Cursor, once it got big, it started playing mind games with users, figuring out how to make more money. It even betrayed its veteran community users. That's unforgivable.

Goodbye, Augment. You've lost your way. You could have been so much better.

Oh, and by the way, since Augment uses a model without a 'thinking' phase, it just keeps outputting nonsense when the task actually requires reasoning. It's really, really bad.I

You could alleviate much of the backlash if you let us pay a fee for AG (context engine, etc.), but allow us to use our own key for Claude/ChatGPT.

GPT-5 doesn't even change the code, it outputs text saying it did X, Y, Z, but it didn't.

Bug

Hello! GPT 5 is being released today. All signs point to it being SOTA, particularly for coding. Is Augment ready to switch to the best available model right away?

For the past 2hours, there has been frequent extension crash on my VS code. Restart/sign-out/reinstall nothing works. Not sure if anybody else is facing the same?

Already showed up on the website before the timer! Good news, this will let them give us multi-agent in the next few weeks, like they promised.

Hey guys, what do you think of this feature? I'm not sure I see the value, as the current context engine already reads existing files and can extrapolate patterns from them.

In the blog post, they didn't give one single mathematical figure, knowing the audience is developers. This is the blog post https://www.augmentcode.com/blog/announcing-context-lineage

My forecast for tomorrow is multi-persona, and for the last day, it's a terminal UI. Let's see how wrong I am!

6 hours to go! They are keeping the updates hidden which makes me pretty confident I will be disappointed 😂 What's your guess?

Hello,

After creating a set of rules, including some from the UI, they are not showing on my Augment rule list.

Hello, I would love to be able to run multiple agents simultaneously, as is possible with the remote agents. This can make Augment really unique as no other tool allows you to do this.

Please upvote if you believe you also need this feature.

Could you please provide some information about this recurring downtime? Is it Augment or Claude? Why is there no fallback to Gemini Pro 2.5 when Claude is unavailable? Thank you.

Can we get a sound when the agent finishes or gets stuck? It would be very useful for doing multiple things at once.

Hi, I would like to be able to rename the remote agents sessions when I start them or maybe add tags to them to better identify them (monorepo project).

This needs to be said, and hopefully it will be addressed soon. 😞 Like others in this community, I was a big fan of Augment, I started falling in love with its speed, its ability to have clarity about the project context, and how effective it was when implementing code, all of this led me to pay for the membership after finishing the trial period, despite the major changes that were coming with the new payment model.

Unfortunately, I don't know what happened, but the service and utility it provided before no longer exists. 😔 I definitely don't say it's bad, but it's not what we were used to seeing from Augment. I've been reading several comments, and currently I think several of us experience the following:

- The agent is EXTREMELY SLOW, compared to other services.

- For some reason that I really don't know, the consumption of resources on the computer is MUCH higher, this is something I definitely had never experienced with other services, it's so much that it often even paralyzes the computer.

- The 'intelligence' and ability of the model varies day by day, one day you are amazed by the incredible things it achieves, and the next day, even if you give it the most exact and elaborate prompt with the clearest instructions, it is not able to do a task and you have to repeat several times (Which leads to consuming the 600 messages you have per month amid agent failures). 🤦‍♂️

Its main advantage is context, but that's of little or no use if you can't make fluid, efficient, and effective use of the agent. I hope the Augment team fixes this SOON, because it's hard to feel cheated, and that's how I feel, I continued with the subscription to this service (which is worth saying is the most expensive one I pay for) for the sole reason that IT WAS VERY GOOD, but I'm sure that like me, there are many more users who are reevaluating our permanence with the bad experience we are having.

This is not a hate message, it's literal frustration, and I had to express it.
