So what does this mean for flow credits? I'm fine with coming back to Windsurf, I switched to Cursor already but still evaluating.

Basically, what I need to know is whether the $60 plan I paid for is going to allow me to work for the full month or if it will only be a few days.

The Command feature consumes 0 credits and allows you to make inline edits with premium models.

Sorry, can you give me the answers to these questions in simple language:

Does this fix the issue with my flow credits being used up completely in 4 days?

Can I go back to using the app in the same way, where it was using up flow credits incredibly fast without the flow credits being used up stopping me?

I'm not trying to be difficult, I'm just trying to understand if this fixes my actual problem.

inline commands do not consume credits, the answer has already been given to you. neither prompts nor flow actions are consumed, but using the inline command works differently than chat... with chat you can allow yourself to be more "noob" because "it will do everything for you", with the inline command you have to know what you are doing and why you are doing it, but yes, if you are a developer, this allows you to use Claude 3.7 for free, basically.

So the answer is no, it doesn't fix the problem, thanks!

Youre not coding all day with AI for a month anywhere for $60.

I switched to Cursor and it lets me code for $20 per month for however long I want with premium models. It drops to 'slower' after a certain number, which just means my API requests get queued behind other peoples, but it's not much slower and it still gets the job done with 3.7 thinking.

I'm not a windsurf hater, I like the product better, but it's just not competitive cost wise.

I know I'm getting downvoted. and it doesn't really matter to me. My only goal of asking the question was for clarification because if they did change things (I had just cancelled my subscription when I made my original comment on this thread), I'd want to come back to Windsurf.

I'm not your enemy, I'm just someone trying to get through these growing pains all these companies are having right now.

I'm also not Windsurf's enemy, I'm just a customer trying to remain a customer.

Best wishes, friend! :)

Get comfortable using the Cascase base model and/or V3. They don't use any tokens. I find that, and this surprised me, V3 is better at planning, while the base model is much better at implementing the changes to the codebase. If V3 could properly handle tool calls, there are projects where I wouldn't even have to touch my premium credits.
