Quickgpt - Unlimited Lightweight Ai Api ...

i built this actor recently it works just fine https://apify.com/dxbear/quickgpt but apify keep sending me email that the actor did not pass automated quality test !?

If it is not secret, what is the reason

If it is not secret, what is the reason why you have external costs? Ideally, you just need Apify for the whole thing (compute, proxy, storage) and then you don't need to worry about free users since Apify covers all of its resources.

Whatever it is, when I set a price, I

Whatever it is, when I set a price, I expect to be paid that per run. Not these deceptive practices where we don't get paid out for "free tier" runs. It's a $5 credit, as far as I know, that's actually five dollars being given to each user, which goes to whichever developer they opt to use.

But that's how subscriptions work. You

But that's how subscriptions work. You will be charged by Netflix at the end of the month even if you don't watch any films. Even Apify works like that. Once you subscribe to a plan you will be charged every month even if you don't use any actors. I don't understand why developers shouldn't benefit from this subscription model......

I’m setting it up so that instead of

I’m setting it up so that instead of charging on actor start, there’s a sort of “deposit” event at the beginning in case the run gets aborted early.

how does someone use the api (python) to set the ACTOR_MAX_PAID_DATASET_ITEMS? i think there's a maxItems or do we, as the developer, need to add a limit variable and programmatically add it in the code to limit results I guess my question is this https://discord.com/channels/801163717915574323/1403051131344519318...

Question - Some of my actors I think are

Question - Some of my actors I think are being used because they are rental and PPE may be more expensive to the end users. If rental is discontinued, it would create a lot of problems for me because I currently rank very high for the actor and my revenues depend on it.

1. The temporary token should be run-

1. The temporary token should be run-bound, only work for the duration of the run. If you can use it 1 hour after the run, that would be quite a huge security bug so please report that if it actually happens. 2. Not sure about ToS, it definitely looks a bit shady. But practically it sounds ok, for PPR/PPE, the compute/proxies/storage costs for the token are subtracted from your PPE revenue so the customer wouldn't really care what you do with it. For PPU however, you could just abuse the token for your stuff. The delay between your server and Apify should be tens of ms (if you are in the US) so I would really go with relaying everything back to the Actor. 3. What is the reason to use your server, are you hitting any bottlenecks?...

I don't think there is anything in ToS

I don't think there is anything in ToS to prohibit this. btw, how would you handle user killing a run?...
