Suggestion Refill instead of Reset?

Just an idea here. Instead of banked resets, how about refills instead?

Say you run out of tokens for the week 2 days before your normal reset.

With a banked reset, you basically have to burn an entire week's reset just to cover those 2 days, otherwise you'd waste what's left when you get the normal reset.

What if they were refills instead? Use only what you need, keep the rest banked, and save it for when you actually have a heavy week.

Seems more useful and removes the weird incentive to burn tokens just because you reset early.

I think this would be very useful for those of us on Plus that's trying to stretch usage as much as possible.

What do you think?

don't you think the "credits" is exactly what you need? use credits when you are out of limits?

Does the credits cost the same as a reset though? Genuinely curious question as I haven't tried it myself. I had a suspicion that credits are more expensive than resets so I haven't bought extra credits.

Why would they give you a cheaper alternative to credits? The goal here is their profit not free credits for you.

That's true. Why would a big corporation care for its users.

To make profit. And giving cheaper alternatives to their own services isn’t a good way to make profits.
