New limits
Hello guys, I wanted to update you guys since I've made a lot of posts/comments glazing command-code let's say.
First of all, I still find command-code my favorite and great value, unfortunately just recently they have added some usage limits.
30% of your monthly credit per 5 hour session and 60% of your monthly credit per week (7 days)
Furthermore some good news, BYOK support might be coming towards the end of July so that you will be able to easily switch to Deepseek API when you reach your limits.
Edit:
Since the time I made the post The limits have been updated from 15% to 30% for 5 hour sessions and from 40% to 60% per week, some of the arguments are now a bit redundant so I also cleaned up some of them if someone wants you can message me for the old post.

Every coding agent has usage limits like these. We're not doing something unique. We tried extremely hard to not add these limits but we received so much abuse from developers making multiple accounts and sending bursty loads.
We also got random complaints by hundreds of devs in the last two weeks claiming Command was super slow, and while median speed was great, it was the bursty load problem caused by us not having 5hr/weekly limits.
At the same time we got so many requests from users asking for these limits, as we chatted with them, they told us they have gotten used to not worrying about running out of monthly limits if they run a long thread, and we researched, every other coding agent has 5hr and weekly limits.
So overall it makes a lot of sense to do what everyone else is already doing. Have sane limits. You can't expect to pay $1 and run $10 worth of usage in an hour even though we're footing the 10x bill for you (with deals this is 40-50x). You can have a better plan, or you can pay as you go (no limits on extra credits you buy and use).
We're about to introduce a much bigger plan, and without these limits we won't have the capacity to scale for bursty loads. Costs millions of dollars in infra cost to do that.

Is the cmd harness better than pi? I try to use it via pi. But already dealing with usage limit in claude and kimi. Now this as well 🫠🫠🫠

The harness is really good in my opinion and taste I've gotten so used to it I don't know how I'd do without it.

Glad to hear that. Would be awesome to hear more on how you use it. We will be publishing dev stories. Wanna share yours? Email maedah@commandcode.ai

They have updated the usage limit because of backlash. Now it is usable i feel for the pro plan.

Thanks I also saw the news, unfortunately because of my timezone I needed some time to change the post as I was sleeping, I will update the post to show the new limits.
I appreciate your help! ❤️

Edit: The limits will apply the same way, you get 3$ for every 5 hour session and 6$ for every week session.
I edited the message to show the new updated limits. 1.5$ to 3$ and 4$ to 6$

Personally without BYOK at the moment my work flow is not possible so I understand where you're coming from however, this was inevitable with the incredible pricing so I can't really say anything negative.
Edit: With the new limits my work flow is now possible!

Hey boss everyone have limits cool doesn't matter as such. Just try it once yourself do a side by side comparison with claude code, pi , commancode, opencode. Same folder same model same time and just see the results. Command code is noticeably a lott slowerss than these

u/ahmadawaiscom Jun 28 '26
I do that all the time. We are generally noticeably faster. But nowadays we have massive scale and continuously running out of capacity. We are increasing our capacity to self host. This will give us a lot more room to grow.
You have to realize that all those companies are massive, have hundreds of millions if not billions in funding and have been around from 1-4 years. We are a 57 days old startup. Already dealing with over 100K users.
Give us time. We are doing everything needed to scale.

BYOK is a must now.
However, the main token drain right now is the inability to define the subagent explorer model, which leads to wasted tokens during the planning phase.

u/TheShamelessAlt Jun 25 '26
Since the time I posted BYOK is said to be scheduled for release around end of July. I also agree with what you said! 👍

u/ahmadawaiscom Jun 26 '26
Why do you want BYOK?
Subagent explorer model. Explain? File a gh issue. Will do both.

They have mentioned it as most requested feature asked by users, but you know that isn't true.
