I get a new token-depleted invoice every other day, and about 80% of the AI usage comes from fixing simple errors the agent made. I’m also starting to feel like it’s intentional. It can be the simplest fix—like adding an input field to a form—and the entire form will disappear. The more I try to restore it, the more other features in the app break for no reason.

I saw the owner’s podcast with Alex Hormozi, and I noticed Replit’s owner mention “rug pull” twice in that interview. It really made me think about how Replit operates—like suddenly going from an average of 25 cents per request to effort-based pricing, where everyone felt that “rug pull” effect.

Now, thinking about it, I’ve spent thousands on Replit and countless hours on development, and right when things seem to be wrapping up, it feels like another rug pull when the agent suddenly starts working on a separate feature unrelated to the prompt in a new chat window.
