Wasted usage

The usage model absolutely sucks. And I say that because the AI agents frequently make so many mistakes that you waste time (and money!) going in circles to fix something and cannot even have a proper dialogue without wasting your available usage. And tonight the system can't even make a simple menu for me... It constantly tries to update code through console which always fails and sometimes it will blow everything up and then say "Ok it's all fixed and working" while you are left with an empty file. And I understand the agents make mistakes, but we're PAYING for these mistakes and some of us hobbyists just don't have any budget for that! I start feeling ripped off because I have no progress to show for the money I just spent. Using Claude Sonnet 4.5.....

@RobG66 same here, I wasted about 10/15 PR to fix something going around in circles. Not ideal, I thought that paying for premium would also have at least more usages. I basically burned through all usage in less than two days.

The AI models are weak now. We're just burning money on a product that can't perform like it used to.
