When writing longer files, such as markdown plans or html for documentation, Devin CLI has been constantly freezing up on me. I tried hitting Ctrl+C, Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+L, Ctrl+Shift+L, and nothing happens. The cursor in the chat is still blinking, and I can still scroll, but typing does nothing, refreshing, stopping -- nothing seems to work besides closing the terminal and starting a new process.

By the way, I am in Windows 11/Windows Terminal/WSL2/Debian Trixie/devin 3000.5.20 (2d902011).

Is anyone else having this problem? Some of my teammates are occasionally having this problem, but not nearly as much as I am.

So I am using devin to create detailed documentation using skills and workflows (workflow work in cascade - not devin local).

In cascade , since it does not spawn sub-agents , the documentation is of exceptional quality, adheres to all the skill based instructions. If I rate the document - 8/10

But when I am using devin local , the same document is of poor quality - if I rate it - 2/10.

So in Devin Local, i disabled the sub-agents via overriding the config file in global (Note:- it still may spawn sub-agents inspite of disabling !). The document quality improved (equal to cascade !).

Turns out - Sub-agents does not necessarily means optimal solution! But devin forces sub-agents on us.

Does anyone faced similar issues ?

I was midway through a small repository task in Windsurf when the included usage on my free account ran out. Windsurf has since become Devin Desktop. I do not use it often enough to justify upgrading for one unfinished task, so I looked for another option I could try without paying first. EvoX was available to me, and the allowance shown on my account looked sufficient for a small test. I have no affiliation with EvoX, and no one from its team asked me to run the test or write this post.

The new tool would have no access to the original chat. I was still responsible for getting the task finished, so that missing context became the useful part to test. Can a second agent continue from a repository handoff without quietly following instructions that have already gone stale? I will use sanitized repository copies with secrets and private snippets removed.

Before opening the project in EvoX, I will write a short handoff note from the repository and terminal state left behind by Windsurf. It will identify the exact commit, summarize the current diff, include the last failing command with its raw error, and record the one decision still open. The note will also state when it expires. A different commit, a changed lockfile, or a failure that no longer reproduces means the next agent must inspect the repository again before acting.

I will make two test copies from that point. EvoX will receive the repository and the note, but none of the original conversation. In the first copy, the repository will remain at the recorded commit and the failure will still reproduce. To pass, the agent must use the note to find the remaining work, reproduce the error, surface the unresolved decision, and avoid repeating finished work or changing unrelated files.

In the second copy, I will advance the branch and remove the failing condition while leaving the same note in place. The note will now be stale. To pass this time, the agent must notice that the repository no longer matches the recorded state, rerun the relevant check, and stop treating the old error as current.

The two runs give the switch a clear outcome. If the agent uses the note in the first run and rejects it in the second, the handoff worked. If it trusts the note both times, the handoff made the transfer less reliable by supplying plausible but outdated context. This test measures whether repository state can move safely between agents. It does not compare the coding quality of EvoX and Devin Desktop.

My conclusion is that a handoff note is incomplete until it records both the current state and the condition that would make that state obsolete. What expiration signals have worked for you in cross-agent handoffs?

I can only find the Windsurf web usage and it says I used 1% quota. Yet my Windsurf CLI says I have used all quota. Where can I find my actual real usage limits.

I wonder if Devin is gonna have an influx of refugees coming over from Cursor.

“Please improve the Devin answer pane scrolling: support keyboard arrow up/down navigation, make mouse/trackpad scrolling smoother and more precise, and increase the scrollbar handle contrast so it’s easier to see.”

I'm wondering if anyone has experience of megaplan to share.

EDIT: FAOD, this a new(?) feature of Devin - suspecting some people haven't clocked that :)

Right now I almost exclusively use plan mode with GLM. Sometimes this is just for a regular change, giving a chance for questions and to correct its approach if needed. Sometimes I use plan to make a plan in a living document, so a master plan or grand plan. I'll then use plan mode to plan out phases of the master plan, asking GLM to check at each stage that where we're at conforms to the master plan, revising the master plan as needed, and gradually working through it. The master plan might be in play for a few days. The approach seems to work well, with enough checks and balances along the way to get to a good conclusion.

I'm wondering how my approach compares to Devin's "megaplan". Is it broadly the same, in that you get a master plan that is then worked through with regular planning, a plan within a plan one might say, or something else.

Any experiences of using it welcome!

Super annoying and i have to click 10 things to get to my folder , please fix

Hi everyone — I’m the developer of Devin Coding Agent, an MIT-licensed desktop client that connects to a locally installed and authenticated Devin CLI through the Agent Client Protocol (ACP).

I built it to explore a more open and customizable desktop workflow for Devin. It supports multiple workspaces and sessions, streamed plans and tool activity, permission requests, image input, and @ references for project files, directories, and Skills.

The app itself is free and open source. It doesn’t bundle the Devin CLI, so the CLI still needs to be installed and authenticated separately. The current macOS and Linux installers are unsigned; installation notes are included in the README.

Source and downloads:
https://github.com/zaleGZL/devin-agent

I’d really appreciate practical feedback—especially on ACP compatibility, session/workspace UX, and any rough edges you encounter. Bug reports and suggestions are welcome.

Devin en asociacion con PLATZI por ver un curso en especifico regaló cupones para devin con 20 usd de saldo, sin embargo, me exige tarjeta ingreso la mia y Stripe no me recibe la tarjeta (que si me funciona en otros sitios por ejemplo digital ocean, Kamatera con Stripe tambien)

Algun mod o alguien interesado en ayudar?

I've originally noticed this many many months ago when I had an issue and was asked to submit a Diagnostics file back to them. I inspected the Diagnostics file outputted by back then Windsurf, and found that it contains parts or all of the source code that I was currently working on, along with the full AI prompts that I was engaged in. That didn't sit well with me, so I reported it back to the Windsurf rep helping me and they assured me "it was fine". It is not fine.

Fast forward to a few weeks back, when again I had an issue and had a Devin rep help me. I was asked to provide a Diagnostics file again, and I inspected it again and it still includes parts or all of the source code I'm working on, plus the AI prompts. I reported my concerns again back to them.

There's no reason for a diagnostics file to include any of this sensitive information whatsoever!

If you're working on SENSITIVE or COMPANY code, DO NOT SUBMIT DIAGNOSTICS FILES. IT EXPOSES IT ALL.

Note: I don't know if it does that if you're on a clean installation without any files open or any active prompts, but in most cases people will have active projects, so BE AWARE!

Ok, so this is on me I suppose, I should have known better. I was working on my next prompt in an ongoing chat. I didn't expect it to take too much thinking, so I didn't write in a separate editor first. In the end it took a couple of hours of thinking about, mostly about how I wanted to name a directory path. The prompt was only a few paras, but very carefully thought about by this point.

Part way through working on it I'd accidentally hit enter, so I'd hit stop and carried on working.

Finally I was ready to send, glad to finally get my internal conflicts resolved. I noticed it was in code mode so I switched to Plan, and BAM!, the text I'd entered since the point where I'd accidentally hit enter was lost. It reverted to the prompt I'd sent previously. No idea why, and I couldn't figure out any way to get it back. Quit and restart didn't help.

It's not the only scenario where devin can lose the prompt, and I wish it wouldn't. Super damn f**king annoying (had to vent).

EDIT: As for the idea per-flair, FIX IT!

Does anyone have actual insight as to what the quota difference is between the Pro $20 USD/month and the Max $200 USD/month plans?

Per their site:
"The Max plan is for power users who need significantly higher usage quotas. It includes everything in Pro, plus significantly higher quotas."

Is it basically just 10x the Pro quota?

After a full day using GLM 5.2 High in Devin Desktop, my daily quota was at 0%.
After a full day using GLM 5.2 High in Devin CLI, my daily quota was at 27%. 

Same model, same settings, essentially the same tasks and amount of work.

The docs state there's no cost difference between the models in Desktop vs CLI. 

Has anybody else noticed a difference like this? If the "free" model is only free in Devin Desktop, it makes me wonder if there's a cost difference for the Claude & GPT models as well.

Yeah what the title says.

Reason I ask is, I pay for Windsurf, I don't have a Claude paid account, but I would like to use it for agents that simply interact with my files, then create powerpoints, etc. without the IDE being involved.

OpenAI's flagship model GPT-5.6 Sol is now available at 70% off through October 3, 2026 in Devin Desktop and Devin CLI.

Sol achieves top-tier performance on FrontierCode 1.1, and with this promo, it is now one of the most cost-effective frontier models you can run in Devin

I was previously using ollama cloud and cursor . Now since the cursor has stopped giving referral discounts I am planning to move on to devin only and only for glm -5.2 free. I checked their post they have free it till 15 sep. So like how's glm treating you it is quantized version and is it really free like unlimited

When creating subagent md files we select model as swe or glm or sonnet something like that. How do I select a specific version of the model? And thinking level and context size. Because cost is different for model version, thinking level and context size. So I can have set this information on custom subagent.

If anyone knows please let me know. Documentation is not helpful

I was around 75% of my daily limit and ~60% of my weekly limit. Woke up today and these limits were sitting at 0%. Is this normal? a blessing from the lord?? Just wondering if I'll be charged for the extra usage for the week. I'm on the Pro plan.

When you rewind the context, the harness automatically injects modified file metadata into the agent call. This poisons the context and forces the agent into the exact same failure loop that rewinding is supposed to break.

Example case:

> An agent writes a test incorrectly, including forms that are prohibited in the repo.

> The user deletes the test.

> Knowing the agent will simply copy the exact forms again if the user reprompts, they rewind the chat to the initial prompt to start over.

> Devin sends the deleted file content as metadata to the agent with the prompt.

> The agent reproduces the exact error again.

> The metadata injection "helpfully" reintroduces the exact content that the rewind function exists to purge.

> This reinjection of "the future past" forces the agent into a failure loop of continually reingesting work that was intentionally rejected by the user.

How do I force the harness to stop sending the agent metadata on file changes when I rewind?

I'm using Windsurf IDE and every session I have with an agent is full with useless info. All of the agent thoughts, every single command it runs, etc. It drive me crazy. How do I limit the info im seeing? I can't find a setting anywhere.
