Y'know it really doesn't make sense Runway…
Wait times for renders have only degraded in the two years as a user. Their customer service and support, are glorified salespeople only to push the user to buy credits. They treat their users like cattle. I switch over to credits mode and my request and output are processed in under five minutes no issues. So why do we unlimited users wait over an hour for a request? this isn't a system issue, this was someone's deliberate intention when you look at it deeper. I'd like to understand the logic implemented into the backend This whole experience has triggered me to start effort working on exposing the business of Runway Suggestion for users 'AI Platform Reliability Index' focusing on actual true data: Queue Performance - average wait time, peak congestion, timeout frequency Reliability- failed generations, stuck jobs, retries Credit Integrity - credits consumed on failed / unusable renders Consistency - output degradation after system updates occur Throughput - renders/hour under paid tiers UX Transparency - queue visibility, ETA accuracy Stability - uptime patterns, service interruptions Moderation Drift - inconsistent safety flagging Subscription Value - expected vs actual usable render volume
