Great thanks. I moved to the next Cohort so I may need to do this again. I’ll likely have a paid version by then. Thank you
14 days were added. There’s only 1600 credits left. I can wait for Arpit
Ok checking now. Will it include the Pro Features/credits needed to complete assignments? Because I’m also working with a real client for a side project
Hey. Yeah that would be excellent
Hi Clay Team. I’m part of Cohort #23. My free trial is expiring in 1 day. When I use the link that was shared with us to reset the trial I get the following error. Please advise. Thanks!
