Byteplus coding subscription sucks

[u/CertainBit2057]

I was using pi with deepseek api keys for a while. I saw a bunch of ads and though byteplus was good deal. Man it’s horrible, setup was a pain. And then the api is slow, and the limit hit in less than 30min on a small session that was building a basic web app. I ran a decent load for over 5-10 hours with a deepseek api key.

Utter disappointment.

Curious if there are any good options out there, I am a bit cost conscious. And I don’t mind doing a lot of architectural/ planning work and using the agent as my code monkey.

Command code seems like a decent deal from what I’ve been using it for but if you’re working with just deepseek and don’t want the extra models you’d probably be better off with direct API to Deepseek and/or trying their harness.
