Yeah I am confused by their pricing explanation. All I get is there's some kind of throttling.

What do you mean there is some kind of throttling?

  • They've mentioned "requests / 5 hr" limits for each model, which I presume is max number of requests for that model.

    • Oh that. Yes, most AI subscriptions have something similar.

      I think it means you can't use more than 25% of your monthly limit in the 5 hour period.

      If you use something like "DeepSeek V4.1 Flash" you get 80 USD worth of API price out of the 10 USD subscription. Assuming you spread it out over a few sessions, as you have the 5h and weekly limits. I think it's similar with Claude or Codex subscription.
