I had purchased this pattern ( https://www.pindiy.com/forum.php ... ;page=1#pid45706687 ) and already -150 pin, but when I click the attachment again to download it, a new web page pop out and said it -199pin from points change for download the attachment......

It always has been this way. But now it is more visible than before. Repaint is -199. All others are -30. Plus price of the user.  Post time 2026-6-23 03:20

So it's a new rule after this update? I didn't find -199 rule in the points manage table but only the -30 one......
If so, it is really a sad new, must choose more carefully when browsing patterns......

It's not new for XSD and PAT.  Post time 2026-6-27 01:17
I see...... A bit confused by how it works, but I will make sure I have an extra 199pin when I'm in to any pattern in the future then.  Post time 2026-6-23 03:38
They say isn´t a new rule, but before I always purcased a new pattern and download only for the price, when I download a second time then I pay +30  Post time 2026-6-23 03:30

That's odd....... Because I had download like 14 or 15 patterns including PDF/XSD/RAR/SAGA and this is the first time I met -199......

Oh I remember, some patterns did not have price with it so they were -30 or -199 when I download it, but this is the first time I get -199 after a clear price and purchase  Post time 2026-6-23 03:27

Oh, maybe it's because this pattern was post in 2024 so it did not show the download cost in the attachment detail and made me confused

It's not new. Stop asking!  Post time 2026-6-27 01:18
Some pattern don´t have a price then you will pay +30 o +199 depending if is a scan or repaint, no matter of the date of the post  Post time 2026-6-23 13:01

Stuff like this keeps happening to me too I lost like 150 pin between like 5 downloads today.  I didn't see split pricing on it just a single total. And I would be charged say like 150 plus 30

That makes sense. Thank you. How do you know how yo budget then? Does that come with time?  Details Reply Post time 2026-6-27 01:40
You didn't lose anything. Downloads are charged at 30 pins for most formats in addition to your purchase price. Xsd and pat files are purchase price and 199 pin per download.  Post time 2026-6-27 01:15

Something about exceeding messages in 24 hours period. I am trying to get help for uploading a pattern from a moderator currently.

You need to do the hourly tasks as many times a day as you can https://www.pindiy.com/home.php?mod=task&item=new and visit 10 people's pages a day for 10 more pins.  Post time 2026-6-27 05:08
I don't budget, I just wander in a few times a day, do tasks and odd posts and the pins just build up.  Post time 2026-6-27 05:07
