Hey Team, new pipe dream/string user here.

I just setup my account, used the 5M tokens in 15 minutes, and then paid, realized the 5M tokens were discounted from my 20M, the 1 hour later I run out of tokens…

Is the token system generous enough? other paid ai agents I use are much more usable, now I feel like I paid for not even finishing 1 project.

Also, is there a way I can use my own OpenAI API key?

Also maybe, fragment script files so that the ai doesnt have to rewrite everything

Please help.

Hi Saad,
I’m glad you raised this, as I had the same issue!

“Here’s 5m free tokens to test with, but we’ll deduct them off the 20m you purchase after signing up.”

It seems a bit mean so I’m guessing it hasn’t been designed to work like that, could it be a glitch?

I understand it can be a glitch, but for an alpha product i think making profit should be held back until the product is efficient for its users.

Right now i feel like i paid 50$ for 0$ value since i did not get enough tokens to get any value out of the app. I do not feel like i should be upgrading at this point.

I’m pretty sure if i come back in 3-6 months i would have more juice for my money.
