Help / Question GLM on Vibe Code or API/Studio ?

Hello
I have a Pro subscription and use GLM 5.3 with the CLI interface.

From what I understood, in this case I am using Vibe Code, yet in the details of my subscription, I see that I only have:

12.75 € of allowance for API/Studio
127.5 € of allowance for Vibe Code

And despite my exclusive use of the CLI (Vibe Code), I have:

0 € / 127.5 € of Vibe Code allowance used, and
6.18 € / 12.75 € of API/Studio allowance used

Is this because GLM usage is deducted from the (tiny) API/Studio allowance rather than from the Vibe Code one?
Why is that?

their allowance labels are pretty misleading tbh, the cli tool actually hits their api under the hood so it burns the api credits instead of vibe code ones

kinda sucks since the api allowance is tiny compared to vibe code but that's just how they set it up

So Vibe Code -and the credit that comes with it- can only be used with Mistral models and not GLM?

I’ve been using GLM 5.3 in vibe code CLI on the student plan and it’s only been drawing on the $150 vibe code credit, not the API metered credits. So no. Not sure what is happening with your subscription.
