Plans & Usage

Every plan includes a request allowance per usage window (for example, 20 requests per 5 hours on Free, 800 on Pro), a weekly request cap that resets Monday 00:00 UTC, and a per-minute request cap per API key (10 per minute on Free, 30 on Pro). Access the latest open-source LLMs through a single API. When you need more, on-demand overage kicks in — no hard cutoff. See live plan details and pricing on the Pricing page.

​
Plan limits at a glance

All limits are per account (window and weekly allowances) or per API key (burst limit). Window allowances reset in full on a fixed schedule — your exact reset time is shown in the dashboard under Billing. Weekly caps reset every Monday 00:00 UTC.

Coding plans

​
Auto Agent plans

Built for unattended and high-frequency agents, with higher per-minute caps. On-demand overage and credits can extend your window allowance and weekly cap; the per-minute burst limit is a hard cap and is never extended by credits. Prices are shown in USD — local pricing, annual billing, and any current promotions are shown live on the Pricing page, which is authoritative if it differs from this table.

​
What’s included

Each plan includes:
  • A request allowance per usage window (shown on plan cards as requests per 5 hours)
  • A weekly request cap (resets Monday 00:00 UTC)
  • Access to the curated model catalog, including the latest open-source models (a small number of premium models may be limited to specific plans — see the Pricing page)
  • On-demand overage at catalog model rates with your plan’s discount
  • Optional credit top-ups for predictable costs
Higher tiers include more requests per window, a larger weekly cap, better on-demand rates, and additional features such as usage analytics and priority support.

​
Refunds

All subscription and credit purchases are final and non-refundable, except where a refund is required by applicable law. We recommend testing the service on the Free plan before purchasing a paid subscription. See the Terms of Service for the full refund policy and the 30-day billing-dispute window.

​
What counts as a request?

One API call to any model = one request. A request counts toward your allowance when the final status recorded is:
  • success
  • client_error (4xx from client or bad request)
Upstream provider errors and capacity unavailable situations do not count against your quota.

​
Going over your limit

When you exceed your included requests in the current window or your weekly cap, you can continue using the API:
  1. On-demand usage — Overage is billed at catalog model rates with your plan’s discount applied.
  2. Credit top-ups — Add a dollar balance in the dashboard for predictable spending.
  3. Upgrade — Move to a higher tier for a larger allowance.
There is no hard cutoff when credits or on-demand usage are enabled. Your usage window resets on a fixed schedule — your full allowance comes back at each reset, and your exact reset time is shown in the dashboard under Billing. The weekly cap resets every Monday 00:00 UTC.

​
Burst protection

To keep the platform responsive for everyone, Openference also applies a per-minute burst limit on each API key. This is separate from your per-window request allowance, it is a hard cap (requests beyond it return 429), and it is not bypassed by credits — only your per-window allowance can be extended with on-demand credits. For typical interactive IDE use, you will stay well within the burst limit. For unattended or high-frequency agents, our Auto Agent plans offer higher per-minute caps (up to 99 requests per minute) and larger per-window allowances built for automation. If you are hitting the burst limit regularly, upgrade your plan or add credits for on-demand overage. See Rate Limits & Fair Usage for technical details on burst limits and 429 responses.
