Why the bill surprises people
The Agent burns credits on failed, looping, or rolled-back work exactly like successful work, and overages bill to your card with no prompt — community reports cite surprise charges in the hundreds after retry loops.
How usage charges map to real token cost
Replit Agent uses effort-based pricing via checkpoints: simple tasks may cost under $0.25, complex ones more, drawn from your monthly credit balance. Third-party models bill at provider rates. The exact effort rates aren’t published.
