Lost 160 credits and nearly all work on Atoms ai came to a standstill overnight. I’m so so so frustrated right now… I’ve been building a serious side project using Atoms ai over the last few weeks. Overall the tool itself is actually decent for AI coding and rapid prototyping. A bit clunky in places, but it helped me move fast. The problem is the credit system. I ran out of remaining credits and basically all my work has gone down the drain. I’m talking around 160 credits worth of usage that just disappeared in terms of usability for my project flow. I reached out support and when I finally spoke to a real person, the answer was basically that this is just how the system works and it’s unfortunate. I mean, it is not even the money part. It’s the fact that the work I put into the project is now kind of trapped behind a system limitation I didn’t fully anticipate. And I think this is the bigger issue with a lot of these AI coding tools right now. The usage model assumes everything happens in neat monthly cycles, but real building doesn’t work like that. Sometimes you’re deep in prototyping, burning credits fast, iterating constantly. Sometimes you’re planning, refactoring, thinking, barely generating anything. So a rigid credit reset system feels completely disconnected from how people actually build products. I get that infra and models aren’t free and pricing has to exist. But losing continuity of work because of a billing boundary feels like the wrong tradeoff, especially for solo builders trying to ship real things. Wanna hear what others here think. submitted by /u/OneMessage4880
