Prevent clickbot to generate high work load units

Hi all,

what if you release an application and a user will run tools for example to generate high traffic and also hight workload. A single user could stress my app so massive, that my workload is out and I have to pay for that “fun”.
It would be nice to limit workload explizit for my app’s users.
Also nice to show an indicator (progressbar maybe) for each logged in user to show his workload on my app (and very nice idea: With this solution I could bill by workload, not per user…

any ideas?

best + many many thanks

You could do this theoretically already. You would just have to manage it yourself. It would take a lot of work, so I can see where having some sort of built in feature would be nice.

If you were to do it yourself, you would have to check to see how much each of your workflows would cost in WU then save that to the database and then attach it to the user. That way you can keep track how much each user uses. Definitely not a quick or easy thing to do though. I will be something similar for one of my apps I am creating using AI. That way, I can charge per usage instead of a monthly charge. Then if I am successful with this app, I won’t have to change pricing like Bubble did to us. :blush:
