Other "Pro" members & staff.
I am seriously considering of canceling my Pro subscription, unless this matter can be addressed.

I subscribed to the Pro package for the use of the ZeroGPU, but the current recovery rate is not worth the money. I am supposed to get 5x more usage and or recovery.

By my rough calculation the current recovery rate for GPU time spend is 18min per every 60sec of GPU usage. One of my "T-T-image" Spaces use about 45-50 seconds for each render. that gives 25-28 images
At the current recover rate that is 2 images per hour, limited to 24 images per day.

I may be wrong here or there may be something in my app.py code that is messing with with the usage time. currently it is set "@spaces.ZeroGPU(Duration=60)" If I reduce this I get an error if my render takes more time. (GPU task aborted, or error)

The second thing that bothers me a bit is that some Errors, or failed image generation do not refund the usage. So if an image fails due to whatever error. It still gets added to the usage and as mentioned before recovers very slow. So at the end of the day If I get 15 usable images I consider myself lucky. As we all know, that you can prompt like a "boss" and the image dont always come out as you imagined or hoped.

Thank you for taking the time to read my *RANT* - But I sincerely hope that We as paying users can get more value for money.

Regrds.

I am considering canceling my Pro subscription because I just discovered that i am just limited to 10 zeroGPU spaces i can host on my account. This number should be way higher.

Sometimes I wish there was more quota/slot. Also, because the function with the decorator is multi-process, it's painful that objects that can't be pickled don't work...
Well, it's only $9, so I won't be greedy.

I think it might be difficult to achieve the latter due to the system being a shared resource. If you count failed attempts as no-count, then an attack that occupies the shared resource by intentionally continuing to fail would be successful...
Of course, I don't mean you would do that.

@John6666 , To you $9 may not be much but for other countries like myself where the exchange rate is deplorable (ZAR16 to $1) it is expensive. So please take such matters into account. When it comes to Value I pay 16 to 1 more than others. Take any "cheap" item you own, multiply its cost by 16. Will you still buy that Item?

All I ask Is for a better Recovery rate that will make it affordable to Us to use
Sincerely... me

I am considering canceling my Pro subscription because I have been banned from posting an Article for many weeks now with no explanation or recourse.

Also, the ability to Post and the Posts feed are vandalized by those AI slop posts where the OP runs all 12 reactions on their own post and uses alt accounts to do the same. And I have no ability to block these circlejerking accounts.

We’ll fix it

Hi @Keltezaa @hexgrad - VB from HF, looking into this!

Hi @Keltezaa ,

By my rough calculation the current recovery rate for GPU time spend is 18min per every 60sec of GPU usage

You are not very far from reality. Actually, you get back half of your consumed quotas every 5h, which means that if you completely use your 25 minutes of quota, you'll get 12.5 minutes back after 5 hours (not all at once but progressively, in a logarithmic fashion). This gives a bit more than 60s every 18min when your quotas are empty. In the end, if used at its maximum, we end up with up to 30 hours of GPU per month

The second thing that bothers me a bit is that some Errors, or failed image generation do not refund the usage. So if an image fails due to whatever error. It still gets added to the usage and as mentioned before recovers very slow

I understand your concern but ZeroGPU does not guarantee execution results (as opposed to inference API products).
It is rather a cloud runtime that supports running arbitrary / user-defined (CUDA) applications.
Subscribing to Pro allows you to create such apps, as well as using them (yours or others) a lot more than free users

Hoping that it helps clarifying things.
Let me know if you have further concerns

@reach-vb , @julien-c -

Something I just noticed since I was paying attention to the ZeroGPU recovery.
Inference Credits. ? .... $0.03 / $2.00 - this used to be something else. something like
Inference Usage xxxx / 2000 Uses .
Please Explain?
Why have this now changed?
Am I going to get billed for this now too?

** Edit **
Never mind I found the blog post.. and reading it.

I notice something else int the blog it is mentioned that Pro users get "20x higher limits" currently when I run out of time I get a popup that says if I subscribe to a pro account I get 5x.

Here is a direct Quote from the blog post. :

"Subscribe to the Hugging Face PRO plan to get access to Inference credits, ZeroGPU, Spaces Dev Mode, 20x higher limits , and more.

huh..? Why is this different, I am confused.

Also, If I disable the other Inference API's It wont be used? So I wont get billed?
I dont have API Keys or accounts with any of the listed providers, so naturally I disabled them.

there's a cool trick, in case your inference takes more than 60s
