Certain block should not count as actions and use credits

I strongly feel that all blocks under the Utilities section should not count as actions and consume credits,
considering the wide variety of compute they potentially take.

What’s the rationale behind counting generating a random number, splitting strings etc.. as actions that consume a credit?

Example: There are occasions where I would like to send certain part of text block to an LLM to generate an ouptut. When the ‘split string’ action takes 1 credit per row, I don’t even care to reduce the input size to the LLM. Considering that cost is directly proportional to number of tokens for Barceen. I as a user am incentivized to not reduce the size of the text block as it costs me $$$ for every action I add.

Similarly, actions like generating a random number and waiting for ‘n’ seconds should not count as actions that consume a credit.

Hi there,

Thanks for the feedback—I totally get where you’re coming from.

I’ve created a feature request for our product team to review this. While I can’t promise immediate changes, your input is appreciated and will be considered as we continue improving the platform.

Let me know if you have more suggestions!

Best,
