What changed at Luma AI this week? Use Autobound signals for luma.ai.What happened
A Verified User in Food & Beverages, a Small-Business owner, reports that Luma Dream Machine's credit consumption is opaque and disproportionate, leading to significant unexpected costs. The user spent 60% of monthly credits (about 6,000) in a single session for a 48-second video, paying for failed attempts and the AI agent's deliberation. This lack of transparency and high cost makes the tool unprofessional, leading the user to state they 'won't recommend this one until they put a cost warning before each operation'.
