Mercury Agent Fixes Free-Model Credit Burn

Mercury Agent recalibrated token rates after a bug caused free models to consume users’ entire daily credit allowance in a single prompt. The fix should make the free tier last substantially longer for cloud-based agent workflows.

// ANALYSIS

Credit predictability matters as much as raw model quality for developers testing agent products. This update removes a major friction point, though transparency around per-model rates will determine whether users trust the free tier.

  • Prevents unexpectedly exhausting a daily allowance with one request
  • Makes free models more practical for experimentation and lightweight automation
  • Highlights the difficulty of pricing multi-model agent workloads consistently
  • Clear usage meters and model-level token rates would further improve user confidence
