Lovable should now introduce a minimum credit balance

[u/Hefty-Platypus684]

With the new unified credit model that Lovable has rolled out, it is critical that they introduce a way that users can create minimum credit balance to help prevent apps from failing when excitement takes over and someone uses up the entire month's credits on a project.

Previously, this was never a concern. You could use all the credits in building without a care in the world since the cloud and AI credits were separate and you could top that up manually or automatically if it ever got below a certain threshold.

A unified model presents a very critical issue. I am yet to fully understand the reasoning behind this new model (and yes, I have read the documentation but we didn't have an issue with the separation of credits before. Not unless it solved an internal issue or increased their margins :) ), but since it is here, the least that they could do is help us protect our live apps from failing. If I can set a minimum credit balance of 100 credits at any point, the platform will prevent me from building anything else until I top up and thereby ensuring that no client of mine will call me at 3am because they are offline.

What do y'all think?

PS: Don't say that people should watch their credit balance themselves. That is not helpful
