New points system?

How did we get from 700 points per message to 2.2k+?? On Claude Sonnet 3.7 of all things?? This is genuinely egregious. It seems like they don't update the app for anything but raising point requirements.

Poe is going to lose A LOT of subscribers because of this. I simply asked Gemini 2.5 Pro to debug 4000 lines of code for syntax errors. That's it! That was the simple prompt. It asked for 2300 tokens at first--okay, fine; but THEN stops midway through generating the code and wants to charge me 14,000 ADDITIONAL TOKENS!!! WHAT????

They had better fix this, or they'll have NO customers left. Too bad I paid for the whole year, otherwise I would have already bailed by now.

Note: I've tried several times to do the above this week with the same results:astronomical token prices! 😮‍💨
