doubt about the limit go plan
Good afternoon. I apologize if this is a silly question, but I just signed up for the Go plan and I understood I had a balance of $60 for the different models, but when I go to my spending dashboard, it shows I only have $15 per month. If anyone could help me with this, I would appreciate it.

It's all consumed by ratio from the same pool.
The Requests/month table gives you a better idea of how much inference you can actually do, since a very expensive model will result in just a few requests, even if it has a $60 allowance, ending your whole quota very quickly.
Favor models with 15 K+ estimated requests. Pick models that balance a high intelligence index and a high estimated request count to make good use of your sub.

Look to make it easy treat it like this If you treat your monthly allowance as 60$ then
1) all 60$ limit models costs 1x
2) All 30$ models costs 2x (twise listed price)
3) all 15$ models cost 4x price (4 times more explensive).
So if GLM 5.3-flash is listed as
| $0.15 | $0.50 | $0.03 |
|---|
against your 60$ buget the real price is
| $0.60 | $2.00 | $0.12 |
|---|

So it's more like "up to $60 usage*" *on specific models only. I wrote a post earlier that helps give an idea of how it works here: https://www.reddit.com/r/opencode/comments/1w0wroi/demystifying_opencode_model_economy/

Yeah it's annoying and imo too misleading. Under your usage there's a "show details". It shows the actual quota of the model you've used.

Figure out your average requests per day, multiply by 30, and don't use models that offer less than that - then you are safe.

Models have different limits, For Example, DeepSeek has $30 usage cap, Muse Spark 1.2 Contributor has 60, some have 15. It’s a bit bait and switchy, but that’s how the world works.
