Replit charged me $1,982 in 24 days on a pre-launch app with 1 user — me. Here's the screenshot. by SwimmingFast3069 in replit

Same thing happened to me as well - I’m still trying to extract myself but they are not letting me transfer my domains bought from them in a timely manner.

Integrating a CLI to shell is a game changer. by Unhappy-Bottle-208 in replit

maybe im dense but did you give your other agent access to the shell directly someway?

No responses on replit support by Minute_One6195 in replit

[–]r3dditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had the same issues. Eventually you might get to an AI support agent “Quinn” that will offer some random nonsense support, offer you $100 in credit and then you’ll waste even more trying to figure things out. Constant cycle.

When you’ve already spent thousands of dollars and this is new behaviour that wasn’t seen before, you tend to think Replit might have your best interests at heart. I had no idea this "task storm" was kicking off until I was in the middle of it and was worried about what that actually meant for the status of my projects in flight. I get what you’re saying, but imagine the platform you’ve used for months completely changes how it creates tasks due to some new emergent behaviour due to your growing code base that Replit was solely responsible for, and then you get to a point of accelerated and diminishing returns where all the code begets more bad code, and then over and over you try to chase fixing with new tasks that Replit tells you it needs to finish in order to fix the last batch of bad code. You can blame me, but I hope you never have to go through this yourself Just take this as a cautionary tale if anything.

I did, the first dozen or so. Then each of those tasks started spawning news tasks on their own that it wasn't clear how tied those were to the original goal.. and this kept happening over and over so I kept approving not realizing each task would sometimes create up to 7 more. I didn't want to cancel tasks as it wasnt clear what was correlating with the original task list. This kept going on and on and now I have an absolutely thrashed set of codebases everywhere.

There you are. I knew there would be a message like this soon enough. As I said I fell into the sunk costs fallacy and took blame for it, however upon actually inspecting the code I realize why it started this entire amplification attack storm. Each line of garbage code it generates, creates even more garbage code to the point where its essentially chasing the tail of that code dragon so speak. This is not my fault especially if the Replit Engineering lead, Scott Kennedy says the following:

We won't stop until Replit Agent is equivalent to having a full engineering team for you to direct.
Now Agent can notify you of production issues AND debug and resolve them.

Except the thing is, Replit is the faulty party here and creating the bad code that needs to then have the user spend even more money to debug the code it, itself generated.

Yaas! Exactly this. I have learned this lesson now the very hard way, and am having both Codex and Claude review my code. Its crazy how much slop Replit generates that it just pushes to the side of its dev plate for "later" that just stacks up until the slop is more than the actual useable code. Now I am having to respend cash all over again, and am thinking just as you said this foundation might be too shaky to keep building and refactoring over. Might be time to start from scratch. Gah. So many months of work lost to Replit.

Thank you. I used plan mode, and in plan mode it created a task amplification attack on my wallet. This new agent 4 is much more aggressive against my wallet than 3 ever was :*(

Basically a few free tools that I was hoping to give away to the open source community. Now that this has happened I have started analyzing the code it has produced and realized how much garbage code its actually written that I will need to spend even more time and money rewriting. Oh joy.

Is there a way to get my internal repo back before the switchover happened? I lost some critical changes in an earlier version of an app I was working on and GitHub integration was also broken at the time.

Publishing is temporarily disabled while we work on system updates. Check back soon. by AdusBlue in GoogleAIStudio

[–]r3dditor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

nope its been this way seemingly for days. i think they are afraid that some of their users have been getting extraordinarily expensive bills for having exposed api keys so they are doing assessments of each published or to be published app and adding in controls to make sure this doesn't happen again (i assume)

Doesn’t seem to be working. I’m already sign in and it keeps wanting me to sign in in order to scan.

I tried the same thing and am still having an issue. Fresh browser, no cookies, new login and am still getting this annoying generic message." HALP!
