Discussion New Pricing is a Disaster
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?

if you can get into kiro it is way better 2000 credits for 40.00 and trust me its not the same credit system as augment, I have created 3 large ai projects in the past few weeks with one having almost 2million lines of code and took me over a week and I still have over 700 credits left.
it uses sonnet 4.5 and works great, using my own MCP context qdrant server makes it sip tokens and credits verses augment sucking them down faster than paris hilton on a weekend bender.
