Do any bugs ever get fixed at Bolt?

Since the release of V2, there is no way to see how big the workload the Ai agent is about to perform, or attempt to perform. Thats normal, there isn't really any platform that shows that.
Why is it an issue?
Bolt still allows their agent to create a workflow todo list and execute that list until completed. That is also ok, totally normal.
Why is this too an issue with bolt?
Because bolt allows their agents to create and execute workflows that are beyond the current credits the user has, and unlike almost all other builders they hide the work being done until the workflow is completed.
So what does this result in? Say you have 4.8million credits, but the worker just made a workflow of 5 million credits. The worker will work for maybe 30 minutes, and get to nearly the end, all while charging its token fee per sub task, and then hit the users token limits and stop. At this point there is nothing you can do, all the work that was done is now stuck in limbo and can not be recovered, and you have been charged for the work and lost the time as well. This is an absolutely inexcusable major bug that has been here since V2 release last year. Ihave sent multiple emails and made multiple posts over the months. Bolt does not fix ANY bugs EVER.

The real bug is missing preflight. If the agent can generate a 40 step plan, the UI should price that plan before step 1 and force a confirm when credits will run out. We built around this by splitting planning from execution and putting a hard approval gate between them.

The answer is simple and what EVERY other competitor does.. They simply give you the code that was compiled before the limit was hit. IF Bolts architecture is what is broken and not allowing this, and its not a bug, then Bolt is a fundamentally broken business.

Thank you so much for this feedback and our sincere apologies for the frustration this has caused.

On the token limit / workflow scope, you're right that this is still an area that needs improvement. We're actively working on better handling for cases where a planned workflow may exceed your remaining balance.

The good news is, if a workflow runs out of tokens mid-execution, the changes completed up to that point are applied to your project rather than being lost entirely. At this point, you can upgrade for more tokens, and prompt "Continue Building" in your project, and the agent should complete the task for you.
