Hi,
I purchased $20 of credits on the Continue website under my personal account (which is active and showing the correct balance in the billing dashboard). I am successfully logged into the Continue extension in Visual Studio Code (my username is visible in the bottom-left corner of the panel).
However, no matter what configuration I try, the extension always displays "No models configured" in the dropdown, or strictly demands a private API Key. It seems impossible to route requests through the Continue proxy using web-purchased credits.
Here is the exact technical breakdown of what I have tested to rule out configuration mistakes:
1. Attempting Local Config (~/.continue/config.yaml)
I tried configuring the local file with the standard provider: continue syntax, ensuring strict YAML indentation:
models:
- title: "Claude 3.5 Sonnet"
provider: "continue"
model: "claude-3-5-sonnet"
- title: "GPT-4o"
provider: "continue"
model: "gpt-4o"
2. Attempting Hub/Mission Control Config (schema: v1)
Since Continue introduced the new Hub/Organizations system, I generated a new configuration file (new-config.yaml) directly from the extension UI.
Test A (Using Model Addons syntax from docs):
name: "My Credits"
version: "1.0.0"
schema: "v1"
models:
- uses: anthropic/claude-3-5-sonnet
- uses: openai/gpt-4o
Result: The extension completely ignores my logged-in status/credits and throws a validation error:
Missing required input(s) for block "anthropic/claude-3-5-sonnet": ANTHROPIC_API_KEY. Please provide these values in the "with" block.
Test B (Trying alternative proxy providers):
I tried changing the provider inside the v1 schema to "continue", "continue-proxy", or "free-trial" combined with with: useCredits: true.
Result: It either fails validation entirely (Block not found) or silently results back to "No models configured".
On the web dashboard under Models, if I try to use the public catalog to add models to my Personal account, it presents a YAML template that explicitly requests a hardcoded private API_KEY under the Secrets section. There is no visible option on the hub to specify "route this model through my active billing balance".
Expected Behavior
If a user is logged into the IDE extension and has a positive credit balance on their Personal account, the extension should either:
Automatically populate the recommended models without needing a custom YAML file.
Accept a clear provider or uses syntax that explicitly routes queries to the Continue proxy backend to consume the active wallet balance.
where am I going wrong ?
