I just started the AI Builder track and was really excited to begin building my first portfolio project.
I made it to Step 2 of the Live Music webpage, but then I ran out of Bolt credits and can't continue until they reset (hopefully tomorrow). It's honestly pretty discouraging.
As someone who's trying to break into AI development, I'm wondering how people build a portfolio when free credits run out so quickly. At this pace, it feels like it could take forever just to finish a single webpage.
Right now, I can't afford to pay for AI tools and subscriptions, so I'm trying to make the most of the free tiers.
Has anyone else run into this? How did you keep making progress without spending a lot of money? Are there any good free alternatives or workflows you would recommend?
I'd really appreciate any advice from people who've been in the same situation.

I wanted to share an update on my experience using Bolt. I checked my token balance, and it shows that I still have plenty of tokens available in my account. It seems the message saying that "I've used all my tokens" may just be a glitch.
The message doesn't disappear, but I noticed that if I refresh the page after submitting a prompt, the prompt is actually processed successfully. So, for now, the workaround is simply to refresh the page after each submitted prompt.😄
