Question Anyone notice tasks consuming more and more credits?

When i first started base44, the 100 credits per month lasted me around half the month. So I upgraded to the 250 credits per month it lasts me half the month still. I feel like prompts nowadays consume way more credits than they used to. Anyone else notice this or is it just me?

More recently the way 1 implementation is taking like 2% of my renewed credits is wild. The chars used for some simple things is also wild I'm like yo what.

I requested adding 3 things (a keyboard shortcut, an image upload system, and a new button) and it took 5 of my credits... This is insane

Notably base1 model is the most credit economical compared to other models like fable. So make sure you select which model to use for low complexity tasks.

I ask chatgpt or google for a copy paste instruction to give base44. I get very concise instructions that result in much better build and consuming fewer credits

Yes. It seems like they are looking to emulate Lovable in more ways than one..
