Free Monthly Cloud Credits for Free Users?

Hi, I am sorry if this has been written before anywhere in the entire forum. I am not sure which forum threads should I post either but I wanted to express my concern and what I am quite disappointed with.

 

I've been a free user since about 2015 I think and until recently that a new f360 license has been introduced. In which from the introduction until 1st of January 2020, the Generative Design feature are free for all. During that timeframe, I tried my best to renew my subscription as a free user but to no avail in which I missed in trying out the Generative Design feature for free during that time. Before that I also got somewhat "Unlimited" cloud credit hence I could generate simulation studies "endlessly" though I rarely use them unless I needed it.

 

Last week I got notification that I could renew my subscription license and now I'm able to access the Generative Design. Though the "free" period have ended over a month now but I'm somewhat disappointed to find out that it costs me cloud credits to do so and to top it up, no free cloud credits given to the free users afterwards via monthly basis (from what I searched from the forum).

 

My proposal is, to give free user a monthly cloud credits of about 150 or 200 a month, which I think this is adequate. For example, I am a free user, now have 75 cloud credits left, on the next coming month, i would be given another 75 or 125 cloud credits, and if I didn't use my cloud credits for that whole month, then the next "free cloud credits" would give me 0 because I already have 150 or 200 "free cloud credits" left.

 

The idea of the proposal above is to enable other users to have access such technology with limited number of access per month, if they wanted more than the limited access per month then then have to "pay" more. For example one famous online stl repair service, https://makeprintable.com/ gives out a maximum of 3 stl repairs a month to the free users, I was one of the early testers there.

 

P.S

I'm sure that Autodesk would refuse to give out 150-200 cloud credits for free on monthly basis, but if it is too low, the number of times the features can be accessed is so limited, There will be more than 1 simulation studies and/or generative designs will be initiated because we changed certain parameters to see how the "designed" object would perform under such simulation. Previously during that "new subscription", I did searched how to update my subscription but all linked to the same page which I don't get a proper answer to either.

 

I'm sorry, I'm not so great at english. I hope what I explained above is easy to understand and relate.
