Summary: We’ve spent the last few days reading and listening to the community’s feedback. This post summarizes the adjustments we’re making in response to what we’ve learned. We’re making the key activities crucial to scaling your app on Bubble cost fewer WUs than originally planned by 50–99% …

Everyone should be concerned about this and it does require a proper answer from @josh @emmanuel I believe. A competitor to bubble itself even, could crawl for bubble made sites & target them, all automated.

Being able to set per user WU caps and know per user WU that we can use (within the editor) to throttle or charge additional usage is an excellent and much needed feature request given the new pricing model

There is one thing that is still bothering me. What would this “Others” be on the graph, where I click and it doesn’t go anywhere. It’s consuming and I can’t identify what it would be. @josh [image] Indeed my application had a very significant reduction in WU, thanks for that.

Front-end variables like the example you gave can be messed up very easly in the client, enabling the attack, and a simple F5 or page refresh will reset that state back to “no”, so in theory i can just script a Page refresh and a button click very easily. I don’t think that is a viable way to prote…

On the bright side I have managed to put together some novel mathematical statistics because of this debacle. I’m going to submit an article titled “Poisson Motif and Gamma Syndrome Models” to Biometrika. In the paper I’ll introduce some new methods for statistically fitting correlated count data.

My WU’s for yesterday (the 13th, first day we can see the updated WU calculation) are about 15x less than they have been (High of close to 2 million per day, down to 100k yesterday) That puts the price for bubble for me at about what I expect to pay for an app like this. So. That’s promising.
