Perhaps I'm being extremely daft: If the API is 7 times more expensive, then why is it $1000 vs $30? Or is there a GLM subscription one can use with Pi? Certainly not available in my (arguably outdated) Pi.

I'm not the OP, but it's the latter. I'm currently using the "Lite" GLM subscription with OpenCode, for example. I'm not using it very heavily, but I haven't come close to hitting the limits, whereas I burned through my weekly limits with Claude very regularly.
I am using GLM-5.1 in pi.dev through Ollama Cloud. I am able to get by on the $20 plan. I use it a lot and the reset is hourly for sessions and weekly overall. This is the first week I got close to the limit before reset at about 85% used. I am probably using it about 4 hours a day on average 6 or 7 days per week.
You can use GLM’s coding plan in Pi, just use the anthropic API instead of the OpenAI compatible one they give.
Or tell pi to add support for the coding plan directly. That gave me GLM-5.1 support in no time along with support for showing the remaining quota, etc, too.
It also compresses the context at around 100k tokens.
