Tell HN: Windsurf edits are failing and burning infinite credits for most users

If you look at Windsurf's discord, redit etc. you will see that there's a flood of users saying that the edit tool simply fails.

The agent then retries repeatedly until you stop it, consuming credits as it goes.

To mitigate: some users have suggested telling the AI to only ever make one edit per tool call can help. The theory here is that the edit tool itself has a concurrency bug and Claude 3.7 tries to do simultaneous edits with their system prompt.

Regardless - if you're a Windsurf user it is NOT just you and REALLY pay attention to credit consumption, many reports suggest it will just keep trying and charging.
