Question about the credit billing calculation when scraping. It looked like the flow just assigned the total pages as the amounts of credits, not taking into account if it was JSON response or a deterministic JSON response which should be a 5 and 7 credit cost.

This was the existing behavior in the synchronous monitor flow but that changed to a async path that just has this simplified calculation. I submitted a PR with a proposed fix: [fix(api): correct billing credit calculations by LegoGuy32109 · Pull Request #3723 · firecrawl/firecrawl · GitHub](https://github.com/firecrawl/firecrawl/pull/3723#discussion_r3374059212)
