The Chat feature costs a lot of credits and cannot apply BYOK

I hope users can BOYK to use the Chat feature and AI-related nodes without costing AI credits for legacy users.

After trying a simple Chat, it costs me 104 credits

I also was suprised, currently it seems to be not possible to use BYOK for the new AI Chat - which could be great feature for the product!

I asked one question and was charged 251 credits today.

And the answer was useless.

Cannot agree with you more. I hope Activepieces can change the consumption mechanism to facilitate the adoption of Chat and AI related features.

@kishanprmr could we tag you to help us secure greater AI allowances and feature access? Thanks

Am I right with this? → Does the charge of 1 AI credit per model call when using your own API key also apply to self-hosted Activepieces installations, or is this limited to Activepieces Cloud? If it applies to self-hosted instances, can the credit check or billing be disabled?
