I just looked at our logs and realized we’re burning through 30% of our budget just on restarts. It’s the same story every time - I set up a workflow, everything looks perfect (left side of the meme), and then a tiny server flicker or a timeout hits. Instead of just picking up where it left off, the agent resets and starts the whole 40-minute research task from scratch. It feels like we just accept this as “normal,” but paying for the same 500 leads twice because of a network hiccup is just painful for the margins. I finally moved to a setup that actually checkpoints every tool call, and it cut our API costs instantly. No more re-calculating things we already paid for. How are you guys handling the state management mess? Are you still manually wiring every agent to Redis to save progress, or just letting the retry loops eat your budget? submitted by /u/Interesting_Ride2443
