Developer balks at Daytona's $500 top-up to enable public internet on agent sandboxes

Developer pramodk73 publicly complained about agent sandbox platform Daytona's pricing: enabling public internet access on sandboxes requires a $500 top-up. He argues that's too steep just to try the feature and suggests a lower threshold like $200.
The complaint highlights a common tension for agent-infrastructure platforms: sandbox internet access is a high-frequency need in agent development, and a hefty prepaid barrier risks locking out individual developers.
