Credit Usage math
I am in the lucky position of earning more credits than I currently care to spend so have engaged in a bit of a 'share the wealth' campaign. (Yes, you can ask me for credits, but I am hoping something can be done to improve this as well, read on). I just sent 1 million credits to someone and now my credit "burn" rate is calculated as a large negative number. (I recently sent someone else 10x that and it caused odd math as well). It seems a few things happen: 1) E-Mail alerts go out based on credit consumption (including transfers) in past N hours. 2) Credit "earn rate" calculation includes transfers vs UDM samples. Currently I have income of almost 1M/day but shows -4k/hour due to UDM + transfer. This means when I sent 10m credits to someone, the system thought I was using 10m credits/day and emailed me a few times because it thought I would run out of credits when my UDMs gave me a few more weeks of time with my balance. I also have a large number of "small" UDMs which post quite often, so have 397 pages of the recent credit history. Are there plans to improve this display? - Jared

Unfortunately, this is a known bug in our burn rate calculation code. We've got someone tasked to look into it in the next couple weeks though, so hopefully this will go away soon. For now, you can safely ignore the warnings knowing that they won't be a problem in the future.

There's currently a face-lift project under way and the credits page will likely be affected, so we'll definitely be considering UX options for that page. Feel free to message me off-list if you have suggestions as to how that data might be navigated, and we'll add it to the mix.
