I remember reading somewhere that you can spend coin to increase your result when indulging your vice or acquiring assets etc. But I can’t seem to find that rule anymore, is it still a thing?

Page 37, under Downtime:
After the roll, you may increase the result level by one for each coin spent, by hiring assistance, paying a bribe, etc. (so, a 1-3 result becomes a 4/5, 4/5 becomes 6, 6 becomes Critical).
Mike Pureka how does this work for indulging your vice? You clear X stress where X is your highest roll. There’s no success level there, just a number. It’s confusing me a little 😛 thanks for the page ref btw!
It works the same way. You can turn a 1-3 into a 4/5, and a 4/5 into a 6.
And yes, Word of John is that you can pick 4 OR 5.
Remember that you can also spend 1 coin to get 1 additional downtime action, and sometimes that’s a mathematically better option (particularly for Long-Term Projects where the minimum you can get from a second roll is 1 more segment).
Yes, for Long Term Project and Reduce heat, doing it again is almost always the better choice. (Though I like for my PCs to be prepared to talk about what they are doing differently if they repeat an action.)
You can see a previous discussion on this matter here.
