calculate credits needed for a render before rendering?
just seems like it’d be real nice to know you might not have the needed amount instead of finding out your render only hit 79% some hours later and you might not have any money to spend on more credits

Main complexity here is nailing accuracy if done pre-render.
I can see a few ways of possibly trying to alleviate the pain point though it’s unclear at this point, what the best path forward is:
1. Use historical data of Renderjuice (most accurate) displayed pre-render.
2. Use ideal circumstances data with clear disclosure that accuracy may veer off significantly.
3. Use our test historical data run on RJ infra for future predictions.
4. Add more controls to allow configuration of nodes put on a render (adjacent, but possibly related to credit spend).
5. Only display estimates once progress has been made on a render. This solution better balances accuracy.
I’m unsure if this will get backlogged down the road but will move to “Planned” since the pain point is heard loud & clear.
