We are aware that rental is the easiest
We are aware that rental is the easiest billing model to set for devs but it has many issues for users - there is big sudden flat charge, you have to manually rent Actor (hard to automate - we could build API for this but it is another step), users are charged with confusing compute etc. MCP/AI is just a small part of this problem but a growing one.
When we designed PPE, we wanted to create a flexible billing model that will cover all use-cases (technically, you can charge monthly there as well). But we are aware it is still cumbersome to set up and we have many ideas how to improve it.
As the future of rental goes, we want to speak with devs, get feedback and decide on that. We definitely want to discourage using it for new Actors but we won't remove it in near future or suddenly.
