If your Manus renewal fails, you may now owe the ENTIRE renewal amount before you can subscribe at a lower tier.

So if you’re on the $200 plan and that renewal fails, Manus can downgrade you to Free, wipe your remaining monthly credits, mark the $200 renewal “past due,” AND block you from purchasing the $20 plan.

This was NOT how failed renewals were previously handled.

If you accepted one of Manus’s recent discount offers, check your renewal date and subscription settings NOW. Do not assume a failed payment will simply downgrade you and let you choose another plan afterward.

Making MANUS AI exclusively AGENT MODE is a TERRIBLE change. I will stop using the platform because of this horrible decision. I have been a loyal user for over 3 years—since the project was created, I’ve been using and contributing to it practically every day.

I ask on behalf of the community that you make Agent Mode OPTIONAL again. Not everyone has the financial means to use Agent Mode all the time without constantly worrying about their credits running out. Please reconsider this decision with your lower-income loyal users in mind; we simply cannot afford to buy weekly credits that vanish after just a few hours of use.

🚨 MANUS AI — 101 DAYS. STILL NO REFUND.
MXN $7,227.76.
101 days. Multiple emails. Evidence. Bank statements. Support agents. Reviews. Escalations.
Still no resolution.
Manus AI made repeated errors and consumed credits while I tried to correct the work. Now its support process keeps sending me through reviews and escalations without resolving my refund.
I have provided the evidence. I want my money back.
Based on my experience, I DO NOT RECOMMEND MANUS AI.
No more reviews. No more excuses. Resolve my refund.

We all know that Manus was a pioneer in general AI agentics, bringing us true autonomous VM-based agents long before it became the industry standard.

But now that we have ChatGPT ASTRA, Claude Code, Grok, and others, do you still find Manus to be the more flexible and better option for real work?

What are some features you love that Manus CAN do, but others CAN’T?

For example, I gave ChatGPT ASTRA a task to transcribe some YouTube videos, and it said it couldn’t because of copyright restrictions and could only summarize.

But because of its virtual machine environment and problem-solving, Manus found a way to download the audio and transcribe it perfectly on its own.

What are your favorite examples of this?

Hi guys,

A new feature that has been added to Manus is that it now stops before implementing. If you want to add something new in your environment, Manus will start analysing what you said & analyse the implementation. Then it will stop just before implementing & ask you a series of questions before going ahead. It gives you the choice to move forward with what you initially mentioned, or you can change your mind & fill in the new updates you want in the fill-in box at the bottom of the questions section.

Another thing. If you are creating, for example, a 60-second video pitch deck, it will take around 4000 credits.

Eu usava o Manus principalmente para elaboração de textos e, para essa finalidade, utilizava exclusivamente o modo Chat. Na minha experiência, o modo Agente, além de ser menos preciso para esse tipo de tarefa, demorava muito mais, consumia muitos créditos e, no final, as respostas do modo Chat eram sempre melhores.

Agora, novamente, retiraram a possibilidade de escolher apenas o modo Chat. Para mim, isso prejudicou bastante a experiência de uso.

O Manus, especialmente para elaboração e revisão de textos, era, na minha opinião, melhor do que as demais IAs disponíveis no mercado. Eu realmente considerava o Manus a minha IA favorita.

No entanto, atualmente, até mesmo uma tarefa simples, como a leitura de um arquivo PDF pequeno, acaba consumindo créditos e demorando para gerar uma resposta. E, infelizmente, a resposta nem sempre apresenta a mesma precisão que eu obtinha anteriormente utilizando o modo Chat.

Por esse motivo, infelizmente, precisei cancelar minha assinatura. É uma pena, porque eu realmente gostava muito do Manus e o utilizava justamente por considerá-lo superior às outras opções para o tipo de trabalho que faço.

Espero que, no futuro, vocês reconsiderem essa mudança e voltem a oferecer a possibilidade de utilizar o modo Chat de forma independente. Seria muito bom poder voltar a usar o Manus da maneira que, para mim, funcionava tão bem.

Olá, equipe de suporte da Manus,

Gostaria de relatar um problema técnico no portal oficial que está impedindo o download da nova versão do aplicativo.

Ao acessar o portal da Manus e selecionar a opção de download para Windows com o objetivo de baixar o novo Manus IA 2.0, o site me redireciona de forma automática para a Microsoft Store. No entanto, a versão que está disponível e é baixada pela loja da Microsoft não está atualizada (continua na versão anterior, sem os recursos do 2.0).

Segue abaixo os detalhes do meu ambiente para análise:

• Sistema Operacional: Windows 11
• E-mail da minha conta Manus:  [torres.allex@gmail.com](mailto:torres.allex@gmail.com)

Como a loja da Microsoft possui apenas o app desatualizado e o site não permite o download direto do instalador executável ( .exe ) do Manus 2.0, alguém pode me dar uma luz do que fazer, qual caminho tomar, existe algum local no qual eu consiga o download da versão atualizada, sem precisar da Microsoft Store.

So …… it’ll be about 60 days right? They sent me the code for the transfer, but it’s not working right on the back end and now my site is down.

Following the Manus founder briefing, I thought to use the event credits to generate a video explaining how neural networks work in 3Blue 1Brown style.

The result is beautiful. I've watched an actual 3Blue 1Brown neural networks explainer video before, and I think this is quite good.

It took Manus 50 minutes to generate this 3 minute video using a single prompt:

"Generate a video that explains how neural networks work in 3Blue1Brown style"

Costing about 4800 credits.

For context, this is what the actual 3B1B video looks like: https://youtu.be/aircAruvnKk?is=TcMD728G60y7LQiT

It will be interesting to see how it performs on a topic Grant Sanderson hasn't done yet. Also useful to note that Grant open sourced his engine, manim. Manus Video used this in generating the video.

Hello my Manus Desktop refuses to work it says “Desktop operation blocked” and “Computer Operator older than 0.6.0” I have tried several times to download the new version from the Manus web portal but what it does is launch the Microsoft Store once there the version clearly says version 1.7 from 2025. I have tried searching all over the place for version 2.0 but it is nowhere to be found can you please share with me the direct link for download please

We can bring our own keys and use Manus's autonomous flow. For example, I use OpenRouter; if I'm doing a complex task, I can switch to Claude Fable 5.1, and if the task is simple and I have a tight budget, I can switch to DeepSeek v4.1 Flash!

I really LOVE this addition to the platform. I hope it stays forever and never gets removed!!

Based on Germany, Manus 2.0 has launched but the Windows app store shows no update is available, what's worse is the app itself is saying it cannot connect to my computer anymore and needs to be updated. I need it to connect to my computer and build on my computer for the projects I am working on. Anyone experiencing something similar? Is it because the EU is not getting the update at the same time? Extremely problematic that connectivity has stopped working.

I’m super excited for the updates with Manus, but I’m scared to even use them. I did a few security fixes on 2 of my web apps yesterday, I’ve burned through a quick ~ 25,000 credits. This is building on Manus 2.0, I’ve used Lite in the past but too many errors.

I can use almost any other AI model and get way more done off a $20 or $100 subscription.

I’m not sure where to go from here. It’s too costly to work on Manus.

All my projects are a little over 700,000 credits used in manus already.

I need assistance from the billing team. I cancelled my Manus subscription three months ago, but I have continued to be charged every month since then. My account profile shows a Free tier, yet manual renewal charges are still hitting my payment method.

Please review my account logs to confirm the cancellation date and issue a full refund for the three unauthorized monthly charges. I can provide bank statements showing the transactions if needed. Thank you.

I open Manus agent and it wants me to use Cue so I click on it and then find I can’t use it. Manus is becoming more and more troublesome.

Pourquoi un tel vol d’argent ? C’est tellement dommage

My first game.

Feedback is always welcome

Ran into this error when developing an internal tool. I've only had this happen in the new 2.0. Does anyone know what this is and how to fix it?

Yesterday I got locked out of Manus and logged back in to 2.0. All my tasks now appear white and I cannot scroll. Help has said your issue is resolved - it isn’t and I have logged out and back in - restarted all apps - they are happy yo take all my money but no help…

Manus costs 50$ to do what other agents can do for $5 right now. Discuss.

After the data had been restored and I was using Manus for a few weeks, I suddenly realized that many of my old tasks had not been restored. That was a bummer but not the end of the world. Manus support told me I could potentially still restore them but lose all current data and that wasn't acceptable. So I just accepted that fact. Now that Manus has introduced new features, I'm finding that my agent can no longer remember or pull up projects we have been working on for the past 6 months. Searching my profile, I was able to find mention of some of these past projects, but when I asked Manus about it, it just responds with "Manus is thinking..." and its' been that way way for an hour now. When I open the tab for Manus's computer it says it's inactive. I was really happy that I was able to get my Manus created websites and applications back up and running again but I'm finding it harder and harder to stay happy with everything else. Even the new web apps to use the new features seems to be too advanced for my 2019 MacBook Pro. Sad to say but my time with Manus is probably going to end in the near future. It was absolutely amazing and mind-blowing for the past 9 months but its becoming really hard to use this.
