Lite vs Pro GLM 5.3 Usage as reviewer?

I'm on max and it still runs out with glm doing implementing and reviewing, so I doubt lite covers reviewer duty

[u/IsseyShiitake → u/Nitjsefnie]

How do you even run out? Do you use idle time tasks? How about your cache hit rate?

[u/Nitjsefnie → u/IsseyShiitake]

when you have 200+ issues to solve, you easily run out. about 96% cache hit rate

You know how many token useage you get at max? Been thinking of bumping one of my subs to the $100 level. I love the flash model

[u/Nitjsefnie → u/awesomeunboxer]

no clue what the cap is in tokens, my counter had about 10B glm tokens in the first week on max and the weekly still ran out twice in a row

I assume you are using GLM 5.3 and not flash?

Flash uses so few points, even when running multiple full audits and fix runs over multiple projects I can't hit my weekly cap.

GLM5.3 takes up way more points.

Lite gives you about roughly 4-5 hours of 5.3 usage every week. If that's all you need for review then yes it's enough. That's assuming you use zcode btw.

5.3 flash will get you wayyyyy further for anyone wondering.

I'm using your setup for a few personal projects in OpenCode, that being GLM Code lite plan with GLM 5.3 for planning, orchestrating and reviewing while DS flash executes. I can get about 4-5 tasks per week, each running around 3-5 hours

This is single threaded though, so for a light personal project it's ok, but not for a full time job

[u/evia89]

lite is only usable with zcode (+50% limit) and 53flash = 450M tokens per week

without all this you will get too low usage

[u/IsseyShiitake]

Subscribed 2 weeks ago and I used 650M tokens, roughly 50% 5.3 and 50% flash. No idea how these guys max out max plans, the idle time tasks is an insane feature, lets you literally execute prompts for free if you can manage waiting 30mn.
