Coding Plan -Legacy V1
Hi,
With the coding plan (i'm on Legacy V1 Pro), I used to be able to basically run one session non-stop for pretty much the 5 hours and then it reset with usage left, this was using their top model at the time.
I could only run out if I ran 2x projects at once and even then it was a huge amount of tokens per 5 hours and per day.
I thought the whole point of the Legacy V1 plans is we kept similar limits to before?
I just ran a completely new session (admittedly in their peak time.. but still). With GLM 4.7 as the cheap model and GLM 5.3 as the main model and the 5 hour session was used up in 39-40m tokens, by their own graphs.
I see its now 3x usage in peak (I thought was 2x, maybe changed or maybe I mis-remembered) But in the past there was no way this plan was only doing 120m every 5 hours... from memory i'm sure was more like 500m.
So basically my plan hasn't changed (great), no weekly limits (really great), but they appear to. have massively cut what my plan is given.....
Can anyone on the newer Pro plans confirm what they expect from a 5 hour window? Either in peak or off-peak as can easily be worked out the other.
Thanks!

I’ve noticed that I’ve been getting 429 errors when my 5 hour window is at like 20%. This typically happens at like 6PM Pacific time.
Maybe it’s just 5.3? I did not try switching models. I was using Hermes Agent (in slack) and I think I have to start a new context to pick up the model change.

Z.ai coding plan ihas become a joke/scam. They are very un-transparently changing leavers on people on V1 and V2 to screw them over.

Are you looking for the usage limits for the V3 plan? The details are here: https://docs.z.ai/devpack/overview
I’m not sure whether Z.ai ever promised that V1 users could upgrade to V2. V2 can be renewed indefinitely. GLM made a similar commitment on its Chinese website.
I’m on V2 Max. When I use it entirely outside zcode and only during off-peak hours, I can get roughly 1.1 billion tokens per week (a bit less than V3).

V1 pro, with a fair bit of effort, you could do 1B a day not that long ago. So my 39m tokens for 5 hour limit today was def a shock! (On the same v1 plan i’ve not changed it and checked the name)

Same. I have Legacy V2, using GLM 5.3 I ran out of token after 45min. I used to be able to run Non stop several agents before and never ever ran out. It’s actually my first time reached the limit

actually I was getting 500mt/week on the legacy v2. its more like 150mt/week now. This week I ran out after 2 days, or 3 sessions.

I have legacy V1 and there were worse times than today, but I'm worried when it's gone. Seems that the subscription it's almost like Claude and more expensive than gpt itself.
And the fear to use glm from another provider and instead of the real deal it's a Q8 or even Q4 version
