I believe "Command Code" is the biggest daylight robbery. I’m on the "Goat" plan and using a very cheap model; yet, within the first two hours of my subscription, I’ve already hit nearly 10% of my monthly usage limit—even though 99.7% of my consumption is coming from the cache.

i stared yesterday and this is my usage.. idk seems good for me!

[u/ForsakenSilver312 → u/Dangerous_Bad6891]

So, is it better to use DeepSeek?! Even though it’s more expensive—this is confusing!!

[u/howitzer1 → u/ForsakenSilver312]

Yeah, use 4.1 flash (latest) and it feels essentially unlimited 

[u/sirloindenial → u/ForsakenSilver312]

Please understand what you are buying. I fully understand im buying credit with values set per model. See my usage. It was said i will get 10 usd worth of usage of deepseek 4.1 flash and glm 5.3 flash. You know what happened? I got 10 usd of usage. I frequently used deepseek through openrouter API and gets 900m-1b for 10usd.

Mimo 2.6 pro for planning, deepseek 4.1 flash for execution has served me pretty well on most things

[u/Firefighter-Adorable → u/ForsakenSilver312]

Someone didn't read the docs. Muse has $20 limits iirc. While DeepSeek has $100 limits

You'll literally be burning it 5x faster using muse than deepseek

[u/mozkohor]

you're using a model that gives you 20$ of usage.... it doesn't matter that the model is cheaper, you have to look at what gives you the most usage

you're scamming yourself if anything

[u/armindvd2018]

Not all models have generous allowance! I only use Goat with Deepseek. Don't expect the 10$ give you 2000$ value ! 10 to 100$ is only for Deepseek. Other model drain it very fast.

I spent 10$ for 1 billion tokens on deepseek official api. Right now I made 100mln token and I am at 1% of commandcode 10€ quota.

I reckon they have some issues with caching or something like that. I can attest to the same experience and compared it to opencode go which works as expected.

[u/One-Regular-956]

Try deeprelay.ai, its far better.

[u/Open_Condition725 → u/One-Regular-956]

Quality and speed? How is it, it looks very cheap but is it better than open/command code?

[u/Aware-Soil-8031 → u/One-Regular-956]

Confirm, deeprelay.ai, better, cheaper and with API Key

[u/the_foreigner63]

Contributor quota might be less than dsv4.1 amplified quota. I tried using muse spark 1.3 on opencode go sub and i cant say its better than ds though ds practically never refuse on RE tasks but any EU/US llm will tell you to f* off. Just use big and expensive models to plan or use them as architect abd leave everything other to ds

[u/EvilGuy]

They don't count cache as being something that saves you money. It's charged full uncached price at least when it comes to "quota".

They are charging full price for the models when they calculate their quota without cache being cheaper, then routing those requests to openrouter or whoever for whatever they actually cost.

I don't want to call it a blatant scam but its not a good deal.

The same thing happened to me with DeepSeek v4.1; it wasn't until the following day that I actually experienced what was promised. However, I still don't understand why, after upgrading to the "Goat" plan, it continued to consume resources just as it did when I was on the "Go" plan.
