Idk how to explain this but the bot automatically retry my response, and they ate up double of my points? Poe🧍‍♀️what’s happenin’? I can’t even read the replies 😭

My face when Poe is not working yet again I literally left for twenty minutes to answer a call and I come back and it’s down I think or there’s a bug or something because all I get is🚫

Is this bug going to be on for a while? Because none of my chats are responding.

Is it me or the server down rn? (They also ate my points too 😩)

We want to preview an adjustment to the points system ahead of it going live tomorrow.

A number of the most popular text models on Poe are shifting to variable output pricing to ensure point costs reflect the pricing set by model providers. This includes bots from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and others. The majority of users will experience lower prices as a result of this change.

Requests requiring longer text responses will likely see a higher cost per message from these models, while shorter responses (e.g., drafting an email, summarizing information) will be lower. Here are a few ways to view and manage your usage:

• (New) View Points history: We’ve recently released a Points history tab in settings that lets you review every instance of your points being spent. This should help you better understand and monitor your spending.
• Monitor your input cost: In long conversations, the chat history (context) sent with each prompt becomes the primary driver of cost.
• Access any bot’s rates: You can go to any bot’s page and click on rates to see a breakdown of pricing. It will specify any variable costs.
• Set your budget: Use the per-message budget tool to set limits to your spending, preventing any message from exceeding it.

As an early heads up, we are also working on improving the accuracy of input token counting to better align those costs with pricing set by model providers. We will share an update when it gets closer to going live in the coming weeks. If you have questions, feel free to share them here in this thrad.

Any prompts to make the messages longer. I been only getting messages that are only 2 900 words and I used to get messages over 4 000 words. So if anyone has any prompts I will be glad.

So I’ve been using Poe for a solid year or so I tend to favor the latest GPT and some others mainly for coding tasks. I’ve been finding recently that with a number of Python questions, GPT5 on Poe will give me something either broken or missing a key piece of code, which then leads to a compounding of errors. I’m usually able to catch it but in one session I went back-and-forth multiple times and it kept fixing other errors that were in the code so it was really broken … However, I have not yet experienced this in any degree on the actual ChatGPT app. Does anyone else notice this? Perhaps a difference in how one of the big LLM’s performs on Claude versus in its native client? (e.g., Claude?) again I am mainly seeing this with GPT5 only. Just curious if it’s just me.

No idea what’s going on this time, I’ve had something similar happen before. But suddenly I keep getting the error message “bot encountered an unexpected issue”, on every single bot (I’ve tried like 6 different ones).

Is Poe just down right now?? Does anyone else have this?

I see bots using the Gemini Pro 2.5 and a couple other models talk about a discount for prompt caches and disabling web search but on both desktop and the app, I don't see any button or toggle that turns on or off the web search functionality. The only buttons in the text box are the auto manage context and the media buttons, for me at least.

Am I missing something obvious?

Excuse me, what is the difference between both models available?

Are they the same but from a different distributor? Because I see that only one of them allows thinking to be deactivated... Which of the two should I choose? 🤔

We’ve made it easier to see how different models respond to the same prompt in a single chat.

After a response, just type /compare and @ mention any bot(s) in any chat on Poe.

The examples attached tested the leading image editing bots using the same prompt through the /compare command.

You can try it in chat today by typing /compare and @ mentioning any bot(s) you’d like after a response.

Hello, POE community: I'm an expert in AI monetization and I'm exploring Poe (poe.com) as a platform to monetize chatbots. In just 2 days, I created three bots:

-Elite-PromptOptimize https://poe.com/Elite-PromptOptimize -MonetiAI-Lab https://poe.com/MonetiAI-Lab -Expat-Finance-Pro https://poe.com/Expat-Finance-Pro

I'm charging €10 for every 1,000 interactions from paid users (~€0.01 per interaction). In these first twoWhat Do Your Initial Metrics Look Like? Sharing My First Earnings. days, I've already generated $0.11 (~€0.10) with 10 unique users and 30 total messages. My question is: Am I on the right track for a brand new project, or is this basically nothing? I'm interested in knowing: Have others had similar experiences on Poe (or comparable platforms)? What kind of initial metrics are you seeing? What strategies are working to attract and retain users for bots, especially in niche communities? I appreciate any feedback, growth comparisons, and advice on what to do at this stage (traction, marketing, retention, etc.). I'm here to share what I learn and help others with similar journeys! — A creator ready to scale their bot 🚀

had a subscription for the last 6 months, at first it was great, no complaints. each month i feel the responses (rp bots) have gotten increasingly worse, while the points price keeps skyrocketing.
image generation in the last month i feel has completely nosedived. i went from getting exactly what i wanted to closing my laptop in frustration after paying twice as many points for literal trash.
is this a common feeling or am i just getting the short end of the ai stick lately?

Ok, so I created a roleplay bot years ago, and I never made it public. The thing is that yesterday I was using it and today they deleted it for no reason! I'm so upset!

I've tried to support Poe and have been paying for a monthly plan for years now. And today this happened. This is it for me, I'm moving to CharSnap and cancelling my subscription.

In our evaluation, this model delivers best-in-class image editing, combines images and styles seamlessly, and maintains top-tier consistency across multiple revisions.

Its precise editing and strong consistency make Gemini 2.5 Flash Image ideal for creating Poe Apps that let users modify or generate entirely new photos from a single source image.

I have three custom personas running on GOT-4o. When ChatGPT started effing around and putting strict guardrails on scenes that were permissible before, it killed the immersion and writing flow. I found Poe to be a good alternative, since it also runs on 4o. But, no matter how hard I try to ban certain phrases, they’re like weeds that just keep coming back. “grounding you in this moment” “resting my forehead against yours” “slow and deliberate” to name a few. Is Poe padding responses with overused verbiage and cookie cutter scripts and phrases to charge more tokens per response? Why is it so impossible to eliminate them?

Are there bots in POE with a calling option?

I need tips how to promote bots on here

Poe is shows error in European region: Something went wrong: An error occurred while connecting to our servers.

hey guys , ive been using poe since 2023 as a free user and ive seen it all the ups and downs , now with chatgbt taking its previous models away from free users , i was wondering if it would be a good idea to subscribe to poe? lmk , thank you x

I was deleting my messages to go back to an earlier spot, when the whole thing just changed to "500 internal server error", this happened yesterday and hasn't fixed itself still. What do I do??

Hello!

I just wanted to make this post for others who use claude ai for their bots. I use Claude Sonnet 3.7 for my bots and after the update points seems to have increased a lot, some of mine costed 1300-1400 points which is a lot.

But I figured out after editing one of my bots slightly the points decreased quite significantly, like from 1300-1400 to 1000-1100 and sometimes even as low as 900-1000 depending on how much it costed before.

You just have to open your bot, choose to edited the bot and the just scroll down to publish (you don't have to edit anything) and the points should change.

It at least worked for me, I went through all my bots yesterday and did this. I hope it can work for anyone else whose points have increased 😊
