Model Costs & Usage Estimates
Usage limits
Usage is tracked across three rolling windows:- 5-hour limit (20%) — Fixed daily windows (00:00, 05:00, 10:00, 14:00, and 19:00 UTC).
- Weekly limit (50%) — Resets every Monday at 14:00 UTC.
- Monthly limit (100%) — Resets on your monthly billing date.
Estimated requests (Minion)
Estimated request counts based on a typical coding turn of 10,000 input and 100 output tokens (uncached). Active prompt caching meters repeated context at the much lower Cached Read rate, enabling significantly more requests.Model token rates (Minion, Boss & On-Demand)
Token prices are per 1M tokens.What counts toward your allowance
successandclient_error(4xx) requests count toward your plan allowance.- Upstream provider errors and capacity-unavailable situations never count against your allowance.
- The per-minute burst limit is a separate hard cap on requests per minute and is not extended by credits.
On a retired legacy plan? Existing subscribers on Promo, Lite, Pro, Pro+, Max, or Max+ use per-model request ratios until the end of their current billing period — see Model Request Ratios (Legacy).
