I love polar

I had a problem with proration and downgrading subscriptions.
I emailed them and write about it on X

Today i've received this email, and the feature is in preview!
I'm happy because I'm just a grain of sand in their beach but they still heard what i was facing.

[Caste @castedev]

If you use Polar be AWARE of this:

A user on my Plus plan used every generation, downgraded to Light mid-month, and got the unused days as money credits back.

Normally upgrades should charge the difference now. Downgrades should start next cycle.
(like Claude for example)

On Polar's portal you can set only one rule for both scenarios.
So the rule for upgrades (pay the difference now) is applied also for downgrading

I've planned a fix using their subscriptions API, but i've emailed @polar_sh to see if this "split of rule" is in their roadmap to be applied to the portal or not

@marclou See you later

I made a mistake.

When Jack and I decided to organize this $100K Hackathon, my biggest concern was cheating.

Unlike a regular hackathon, everyone participates from home. And because the winner is whoever makes the most PROFIT (not revenue), there are so many ways to manipulate the numbers.

So I added a $99 entry fee.

One thing I’ve learned from building businesses is that people tend to be more committed when they pay for something.

I thought it would filter out spam, attract serious builders, and make the competition fairer for everyone.

But I completely missed the other side.

3 years ago, I was a living with my apps. Today, I’m financially free. My life changed so much that somewhere along the way, I lost perspective on what $99 means to someone else.

For someone in India, someone struggling to pay their bills, or someone trying to make their first dollar online, $99 can be a lot of money.

And those are exactly the people I want to help!

I’ve spent years sharing what I’ve learned, reviewing random people’s landing pages, and organizing free meetups around the world. Not because there’s money to make, but because I genuinely love seeing people build things and succeed.

And somehow, I was so focused on keeping cheaters out that I didn’t realize I was also keeping genuine builders out.

That’s my mistake.

So I’ve decided to make the $100K Hackathon completely FREE :)

Everyone who already paid got a full refund.

I’m still worried about cheating. That problem hasn’t disappeared, and Jack and I will have to figure out better ways to verify profits and keep the leaderboard fair.

But that’s our problem to solve.

Thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts. Sometimes you need people to remind you of things you’ve forgotten.

I genuinely hope this hackathon changes someone’s life.

❤️

[Caste @castedev]

@verdict_studio @RevenueCat they say that is a financial app, but i don’t offer any way to access money or manage money.

i’ve replied to them asking to reconsider the decision .

[ClaudeDevs @ClaudeDevs]

We've given all Pro, Max, Ultra, and Team users one free full reset, across all models and limits. Use it anytime before December 10 at 2:00PM PT.

We recently fixed a few small issues that used more limits than intended, and the Fable resets didn't do much for those of you who'd already hit your weekly limits for all models. While these issues didn't affect everyone, we want to make up for the trouble.

You'll find it in Settings > Usage, or at https://t.co/5YRzheAZyQ.
