Understanding the Discrepancy

When a community member asked about this issue, it sparked a discussion on the expected behavior of credit consumption in Agentforce. The question centered around whether the observed discrepancy was normal, given the different credit multipliers used in sandbox and production environments.

According to the community discussion, the sandbox environment should consume credits at a rate of 80% compared to production, which would imply a 20% variance. However, the observed discrepancy in this case was significantly larger than that.

The root cause of this discrepancy could be attributed to several factors, including differences in the indexing process, variations in the PDF files uploaded, or additional load and secondary actions in the production environment.

Troubleshooting Steps

To troubleshoot this issue, it is recommended to start by checking the Digital Wallet for a detailed breakdown of credit consumption. Additionally, ensuring that the PDF samples used in both environments are identical (apples to apples) can help identify any discrepancies.

If the issue persists after these initial checks, it may be necessary to consult with Salesforce support to walk through possible issues or reasoning for the extra consumption.

Official Documentation and Calculators

While there may not be an official calculator or spreadsheet that explains credit consumption in detail, especially for file ingestion and indexing, reviewing the available documentation and reaching out to support can provide more insight into the specific factors affecting credit consumption in each environment.
