What happened?
+
+Due to unavoidable circumstances, some debrid services have placed restrictions upon their services and APIs.
+
+**Real Debrid**, **AllDebrid**, and **Debrid-Link** have removed the API endpoint that allows addons to determine if a torrent is cached on their service.
+
+ What does this mean for Aniyomi?
+
+The Torrentio extension has 2 kinds of results. Cached results which can be streamed instantly, and uncached results which need to be downloaded (to the debrid service) before they can be streamed.
+These are shown as [...+] or [... Download] with the (...) being the code of the debrid service, e.g. RD, TB, DL.
+
+With the removal of the API endpoint, Torrentio can no longer accurately determine if a torrent is cached on Real Debrid or AllDebrid.
+
+ Is it possible to continue using these debrid services?
+
+Torrentio has removed the check for cached torrents using this API endpoint.
+
+Torrentio has implemented use of a local crowdsourced caching system to determine if a torrent is cached.
+This is not guaranteed to be accurate which would mean that the tags [...+] and [... Download] may not be accurate.
+
+By using these debrid services, you agree to some inconvenience in the form of having to try multiple streams to find one that is cached.
+However, due to some debrid services having a massive cache (like Real Debrid), it is likely that you will find a cached stream on your first attempt.
+
+ Is it recommended to continue using these debrid services?
+
+While you will still be able to use these debrid services with the addons that implement any sort of workaround,
+it is recommended that you use another debrid service if you aren't using one of the affected debrid services already.
+
+This is because it is inconvenient to have to pick streams at random not knowing if they are cached or not.
+In the case they are not cached, you will have to wait for the torrent to download before you can watch it.
+Of course, you could just keep trying different streams until you find one that is cached, but this is not ideal.
+
+And again, not all addons have implemented this workaround.
+
+In addition to the lack of addon support, these debrid services may also implement more restrictions in the future.

When choosing a Debrid service, the factors you have to consider are cost and the value you get from it which is made up of its optimality and userbase.
-**TL;DR**: Most users should use Real Debrid or AllDebrid. ([Skip to the setup instructions](#setting-up-a-debrid-service))
+I recommend coming to your own conclusion by reading the information below, in addition to your own research.
**Cost**
+To compare the cost of each debrid service, I have created a table that compares the cost of each debrid service.
+This table is generated dynamically and the data it uses can be updated manually by you. I don't recommend modifying the data on mobile.
