Held one rung all window — pattern: Credit burn-rate reprice.

The short version The sticker barely moved — but the meter did. The same work costs more than it used to.

The verdict

Replit has been at metered overage for the whole window — subscription plus monthly credits plus pay-as-you-go above them — and didn't change rungs. The material move was the credit burn rate: in mid-2025 it replaced flat $0.25-per-checkpoint pricing with dynamic "Effort-Based Pricing" (~$0.06 to several dollars per request, tied to compute and time), changing credit-cost-per-action while the subscription prices and the auto-billing mechanic stayed put. A July 2025 billing bug overcharged ~6% of users and was refunded; runaway bills (a documented $607 charge) reflect the absence of a default hard cap.

What changed

Jul 2, 2025 · Credit burn-rate repricing · Effort-based pricing began rolling out to existing Core and Teams subscribers (starting ~July 1-2), changing credit-cost-per-action while leaving the subscription dollar prices and the pay-as-you-go overage mechanic unchanged.
Jun 18, 2025 · Credit burn-rate repricing · Replit announced Effort-Based Pricing, replacing the flat $0.25/checkpoint with a dynamic per-request cost reflecting compute and time — Agent now creates at most one checkpoint per request, costs ranging roughly $0.06 to several dollars; enabled immediately for new users.
Dec 1, 2024 · Meter adopted · Replit Agent v1 came out of beta charging a flat $0.25 per checkpoint as overage on top of the Core subscription's monthly credit allotment, establishing the metered-overage (rung 4) model: small edits cost $0.25, larger tasks triggered multiple $0.25 checkpoints.

Where it's headed

At metered overage with effort-based costs already live, the open question is consumer protection — a default spend cap — rather than a rung change. Expect tuning of the effort multipliers.
