I too liked windsurf better than cursor until ...

I asked it to refactor an authenticatedfetch block of code. It went on a loop exhausting 15 credits (https://bsky.app/profile/jjude.com/post/3ljuhrxs3442k).

To be honest, I switched from Cursor to Windsurf precisely because of how much less of a credits it uses. Even using daily, I couldn't even remotely hit the limits of the credits in Windsurf. Well, initially they didn't even show how many credits I'm using :), now it's more visible, but still for 10$ per month I still can't hit the limits and I'm not restricting myself (not abusing either).

How much does a credit cost in USD?

It's a fixed price of 10$ per month with 500/1500 credits for "premium models" (claude/etc), and unlimited for their own base model.
