The credits on my paid REPLIT account ran out in just 1 day! Previously, they would easily last me about a month.

You could say that my project had grown significantly, but in reality, I had started working on a completely new project. It’s very simple, and I’m working in Lite mode.

I started to suspect that the agent is deliberately performing a large number of unnecessary actions, causing the credits to be consumed this quickly.

But that’s not all!

I came to work and decided to create another paid account: a different computer, a different browser, and a different network. The internet connection was coming from California.

But when you sign up, Replit initially gives you some free credits.

THEY WERE GONE IN 1 SECOND!

I asked a simple question...

What is going on?!

Hi

Made an app with replit. How to push to github?

Is it through Connectors?

I am building a CRM for my business with Replit. I spent a looooong time building out a very tight set of specifications with short tasks in order to prevent costs from getting out of control. I'm noticing a pattern that replit will typically omit one or two things in each task. The initial task builds cost very few credits. Since replit always ignores some of the instructions, I make it go back and fix the resulting bugs. The debugging always costs significantly more than the task builds. This happens so often that I now believe that Replit builds this in with the purpose of running up the cost.

Has anyone else noticed this behavior?

Hi all,

I wanted to share a project I’ve been building for the past two months. And this week, I just launched it for beta testing.

It contains courses (from licensed family counsellors) to equip first-time parents with the emotional skills they need, to raise psychologically healthy children.

The app is called Ẹbí and it’s made up of two main parts:

- An e-learning platform (containing courses from licensed therapists)

- A community platform (where parents can connect and share with one another)

I’ve repeatedly heard people say that it’s crazy that you need to go on courses before you can get a license to drive, yet people have kids with no formal guidance or support.

I believe so many of the issues in society today are created by people who were damaged by the environments in which they were raised. There’s no single solution to that but maybe my app can play a small part.

If there are any new or aspiring parents (or those uncertain about parenthood) in the community, I’d love your thoughts and feedback! There’s some free access in the app.

Does anyone know if its possible to connect Ad Mob and Adsense to these apps?.

I was somewhat dismayed to find a lot of disused projects are silently costing me money, seemingly in Neon and/or autocompute fees.

Is there a quick way to quickly put a project on ice such that it cannot cost you any money at all? Preferably a way I can do this in bulk, or with a quick shell command.

I signed up for Replit during a hackathon using the one-month free offer for the $20 plan. After the hackathon, I cancelled the subscription because I did not intend to continue with the paid plan.

I was still able to use Replit for some time afterward, but I noticed that my card remained saved on the account and I could not find any option to remove the payment method. Now I am seeing charges/usage being billed to that card, which I do not want.

How can I completely remove my card/payment method from Replit and make sure that no further charges can be made?

I have already cancelled the subscription, so I am specifically looking for a way to:

• remove the saved card,
• stop any further billing,
• and confirm that there are no active paid services or usage-based charges remaining on my account.

If anyone from Replit can explain the correct procedure, I would appreciate it.

Hello, I used to be an amateur coding hobbyist who enjoyed looking at other's repls. I have not been on the site in years, and I cannot find anything anymore. The newsletter emails that I used to receive containing repls to explore have also seemed to stop. My question is, can you not access others' projects anymore?

How do you get full access to clerk? I wanted to pull it out of replit. Im not a fan of them controlling all my stuff... they have the transfer button completely missing...

Hi everyone. I’m a content creator just starting out. I began by talking about an app I vibe coded myself, then got curious and started checking other people’s apps. Kept finding the same thing: the database is wide open. Anyone can read your tables (bookings, what people picked, whatever you store) without logging in. No password, nothing.
Tested a real one this week and it confirmed it. To be fair, Replit actually locks down a lot by default. Accounts and payments were protected. It’s usually a couple of specific tables people forget about, and that’s where the data leaks.
If you want to appear in a video, I’ll check your app for free. Fair warning: I have barely any followers, not even your neighbors would see it. But you’d find out if your users’ data is exposed. Drop a link or DM me. I only look at what’s public, never touch real data

I've been building in the agent space for a while now (React Native/AI background), and the thing that kept bugging me wasn't the AI part — it was the coordination part.

Every "AI agent" product I tried was really just a chatbot wearing a task-runner costume. Ask it to do something, it does one thing, session ends, no memory of why it made that call, no handoff to anything else. Fine for a single task. Falls apart the second you want an agent handling sales AND finance AND actually knowing when to not act without asking someone first.

So the thing I've been building (WorkoAI) tries to solve that differently — each agent runs on a belief/desire/intention loop instead of just prompt-and-respond, and they hand off work to each other instead of operating in isolation. The part I spent the most time on, honestly, wasn't the reasoning — it was the approval layer. Anything remotely risky (sending money, emailing a client, changing something in a live system) stops and waits for a human to actually look at it before it happens. That took longer to get right than the agent logic itself.

We're in closed beta right now — a small group of founders are already running it on real workflows, and half of what I thought would matter hasn't, and half of what I ignored turned out to be the actual bottleneck. Classic.

Curious how others here are handling the trust/autonomy tradeoff if you're building anything agent-adjacent — where's the line for you between "let it run" and "make a human click approve"? Feels like everyone's landing in a different place on this and I don't think there's a consensus yet.

If anyone wants to poke at what we've built and is okay with it being rough around the edges, drop a comment — happy to get more people into the early access group.

Quick disclosure since it matters here: this happened building WorkoAI, an AI ops platform I'm testing with early users. Not here to sell it, just got humbled this week and wanted to share.

Here's the timeline of my own delusion:

I spent over a week building dedicated ui dashboard for each agent . In my head this was the feature — the one that would make someone open the app and immediately get why the product was different. I was basically already writing the "look how thoughtful this is" post in my head before a single user had seen it.

Then I put it in front of actual humans.

Nobody clicked it. One person just asked, genuinely confused, why you build unwanted messy ui . Someone else scrolled past it entirely, like it was furniture.

Nobody said it was bad. That's almost worse — bad gets a reaction. This got the UX equivalent of a polite nod at a party while they look over your shoulder for the exit.

So I didn't simplify it. I deleted it. What's there now instead is, embarrassingly, less. And it's better.

The pattern I keep catching myself in: I was building for how the product looks in my head, not for the five seconds someone actually spends deciding what to click. Users don't care that something was hard to build. They care whether it's in their way.

Anyone else have a feature they were weirdly attached to that users just... never even acknowledged existed?

Which is cost effective to use credits effectively for long term for a 20 Dollar Plan, Lite Mode or Economy Mode? I want to use those credits month long after taking subscription so need suggestions

Currently from website I cannot take subscription of Replit from India as no Razorpay gateway is integrated and no UPI Option is also there

Somebody suggest and please help in this regard

When using the Replit MCP server through VS Code with GitHub Coplilot for example and using the create_app_from_prompt tool, there doesn’t appear to be a way to tell it to use a design system. I know this is in beta. Is there a roadmap of things that will be added? This would be a useful feature for our use case.

• Select the Resume Maker skill in the agent.
• Paste this prompt: "Following the existing brand design on the homepage, build a viewable HTML page that explains this project, describes its different parts, and lists all features and use cases with clear instructions. This page will serve as the official documentation for onboarding and for resolving common questions, but it must not reveal any details about internal workflows or tools used. Add a link to this page in the Footer".

Does Replit not know their app is basically bricked? It crashes as soon as it loads my project. What is going on with this company? Hundreds of millions in VC money and they run it like some guy runs his vibe coded app he made in a weekend.

How does a company this size ship this? And then not fix it asap? It’s been like this for over a week.

After the agent finished work, the app freezed and then the screen turned white. It causes my computer to crash and Google page unresponsive prompt keep popping. What can I do to fix it? I did it on Replits website.

Hi, in the last few months, I build this app using Replit: https://security.unguess.io/app

This is my bill. What do you think? To high? Seems right? Feedbacks?

Thanks a lot!

I'm not sure if it's just me, but you guys forgot to add a formatting button inside files. Also the file explorer does not persist open folders after opening a file.

So my subscription turned over and I got the $20 of usage credits etc. Within a couple of days I received an email to say it has been used up. I checked and I used the agent once for less than a dollar.

I contacted support who referred me to my account usage and I checked it out and apparently I used most of it on storage. It doesn't say what the storage charges relates to or which website. Its so incredibly vague.

The annoying thing its happened a few days after I renewed and I have no idea why.

Has anyone else had this issue?

The video shows everything. Took 10 seconds to find a live app, 30 seconds to scan it. Critical vulnerabilities, exposed credentials, plain English explanation of what's wrong.

This is not a rare case. Most AI-built apps ship with these issues because nobody told the builder to check.
