I launched to zero signups, then found 5 features nobody could reach

I spent months building an AI agent platform. I launched it on Product Hunt yesterday. Zero signups. The comments were friendly. Three of the four asked for the same thing — not features, not integrations, not a lower price. They wanted to see what the agents did and what they cost . One put it better than my own landing page ever did: they liked that it wasn't "a black box." So I went to make the cost dashboard better. Instead I found out my product had been lying to me for months, and the lies had a pattern. Here's everything, with the code. 1. Every run cost $0.00 The Cost Analytics page reported $0.02 in total across ~100 executions . I'd assumed that meant the platform was cheap to run. It meant the data was being destroyed at write time. cost_cents = int ( ( llm_response . prompt_tokens * 0.5 / 1000 ) + ( llm_response . completion_tokens * 1.5 / 1000 ) ) A typical run on my platform is 56 prompt tokens and 45 completion tokens. That's 0.0843 cents . int() makes it 0 . Not some runs. Essentially every run — because almost every LLM call costs less than one cent. The production numbers: 189 agent runs, 2 with a non-zero cost. 99% of my cost data was zeroes, and the two survivors were just big enough to clear a whole cent. The rates in that formula were correct. I checked them against the providers' pricing pages; the arithmetic is right. The bug is entirely int() on a value that is almost never ≥ 1. A Decimal would have been the textbook fix, but Decimal / float raises TypeError and ~80 call sites do arithmetic on this number, so I widened the column to a float and kept the unit (cents). It's a dashboard estimate, not money — Paddle handles money — so float rounding is irrelevant here. 2. Workflow costs were never recorded at all Truncation at least loses precision. This one lost everything. WorkflowExecution.total_cost_cents and total_tokens_used had no write site anywhere in the codebase . Not a broken write — no write. The columns had been NULL since the feat
