## Issue Description Manually stopping a running Quest does not correctly stop the underlying agent — leading to double credit consumption On September 3, 2026 (UTC+8), I created a Quest to analyze documents from multiple exchanges — the task involved reading a large volume of documents, summarizing and analyzing them, and finally generating wikis. This is a long-running, credit-intensive task. Here is the timeline: | **Time (UTC+8)** | **Action** | | --- | --- | | ~10:16, Sept 3 | Started the Quest. | | ~10:19, Sept 3 | Stopped the Quest manually to adjust some settings, then typed “继续” to resume it. | | Sept 3 (afternoon) | Monitored the resumed Quest. Everything seemed fine, except sub-agents kept encountering file write conflicts. | | ~17:47, Sept 3 | Stopped the Quest again to prevent excessive credit consumption. | On September 4, I attempted to use Qoder and was informed that all of my credits had been exhausted. I checked my credit usage and found two suspicious high-consumption records: - **4,989.39 credits** — billed from 10:19 to 17:46, Sept 3 - **14,155.77 credits** — billed from 10:16, Sept 3 to 04:55, Sept 4 **I have no other tasks that would account for this level of consumption.** I suspect that when I manually stopped the Quest at ~10:16 on Sept 3, the underlying agent was **not actually terminated**. This “orphaned” agent continued running silently from 10:16, Sept 3 through 04:55, Sept 4 — and likely conflicted with the normally resumed agent (started at ~10:19), which would explain the persistent file write conflicts I observed among sub-agents. In other words, two agents may have been running simultaneously on the same task: 1. The **resumed agent** (10:19 → 17:46, Sept 3) — the one I was actively monitoring. 2. The **orphaned agent** (10:16, Sept 3 → 04:55, Sept 4) — the one that was never actually stopped. ## Steps to Reproduce See above. ## Expected Behavior The orphaned agent should stop at 10:16 Sept 3. ## Actual Behavior The orphaned agent never actually stopped. Instead, it kept running until 4:55 Sept 4 which used all my remaining credits. ## **Screenshots / Screen Recordings** ![qoder2](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex010/uploads/qoder/original/2X/2/2fc8e2ae004ceac06d0f1bd8d5a751ae0ef3e096.png) ![qoder3](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex010/uploads/qoder/original/2X/2/22b4091279cd2b93edee1604ba7a8eb063e103e7.png) ![qoder1](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex010/uploads/qoder/original/2X/9/97c08e97c0dd6d3c796a34814f16241512182544.png) ![qoder4](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex010/uploads/qoder/original/2X/e/e7cada2d176a3b3b276f96db01022118760ed570.png) ## Operating System ## Current Qoder Version (Menu → About Qoder → Copy) ---

Inexperienced tech team. Terrible after-sales support. Unreliable and disappointing product. ---
