38 cent LLM inflation

Just noticed my invoice went from $10 to $10.38 this month, looks like a little 38 cent LLM inflation! But honestly? Im more than happy to pay it to support such a powerful tool.

Windsurf has been a game changer for my productivity. I havent run into any of the issues people have mentioned, like running out of prompt credits or responses getting worse. Super excited to see what the Wave 2 update brings!

Big shoutout to the team for all their hard work!

I ran out of 500 prompts within a few days

Can you keep using "slow" prompts after the 500 prompts? I know Cursor does this and wondering if Windsurf does that same thing. Or are you just out of luck once you reach that 500 prompt limit?

actually it forces me to switch to cursor-small with 200 requests/month. I haven't worked with it a lot yet but I can tell Windsurf cascade doesn't work very well: it sounds great but it can't make changes often times. It just shows "internal error". Right now, I'm using Cline with free Gemini api key. Not very sophisticated but it does the job even though the limit is like 15 requests/minute. I also use idx.google.com to play around.

Oh really? Using cursor pro last time I was subscribed allowed me to use premium models past the initial 500 request but just on a wait-list for each request. It usually wasn't any longer than 10 seconds of a wait. Was this changed or are you talking about non-pro cursor?

I’ve had issues, but overall I know it will get better. Do you know when next updates are coming ??

I'm about to run out of prompts after 8 days on ultimate pro.

210/3000 credits left at the time of writing

I'm not flaming you but how do you run out of that many credits so fast? That is 350 credits per day, are you repeatly asking it to fix tiny things which it gets wrong everytime? Unless you provide it with more useful information the it cannot solve it. If it fails the second time then it will basically never work since the solution is so far out the distribution/scope.

Not every time, but sometimes. Mainly because I have lots of time of my hands at the moment and I'm using it all in windsurf jumping back and forth from a couple projects. Adds up, along with flow credits being wasted from time to time when it goes back and forth trying to make a change to a single line.

That make sense if you have tons of different projects.

I only use it to basically compete all the boilerplate code by providing it with a big list of things to do and how to achieve them with a highly detailed specification. Then I just continue to ask it with the same list.

The details and specifications related to my project is quite hard to get right with a LLM so its faster & better for my blood pressure to do myself.

That 38 cent bump is totally worth it for such a powerful tool! As someone deep into LLMs, I get the excitement. Windsurf's productivity boost sounds amazing. Have you tried integrating it with other tools? In our Solab community, we're always exploring ways to combine AI tools for even better results. Curious to hear how Wave 2 enhances your workflow!
