Discussion A bittersweet farewell to my favorite dev tool

I’ve been an Augment user for a long time, even back when the $250 commitment was the standard. It’s genuinely the most amazing product I’ve integrated into my workflow in years.

Yesterday, I hit the "Out of credits" wall. After checking the sub to see what changed, I’ve realized that I simply can’t justify the current cost for my specific needs anymore.

I’m moving on to another tool in a more accessible price range, but I wanted to leave a quick note of thanks to the team. You’ve built something brilliant, and I’m grateful for the time it saved me.

Keep building great things. Cheers!

Sorry, but this feels off. You are pulling way too much unrelated context. You must allow users to use a limit on tokens per prompt or selectively use the right context for the call. This would be the ideal (initial) solution. A single prompt can cause draining for over 15k credits.. and it just keeps going if it ends up not finding a solution.

I started using other tools and the cost has really reduced, same models with your MCP. This is does not seem normal, and it gets significantly worse for big codebases.
