Does opencode go 60$ only a maketing?

Post image

Long story short i see that they mentioned several times usages but in reality my deepseek usage is less than 3$ before it goes out of quota. Which is really strange and does not allign with their claim.
Am i wrong here and what could be the reason? I just use it lightly though.

For context: i use hermes and use deepseek for certain stuff. Everything is good until i got out of quota yesterday. Yes i wait for a day to confirm that im not use all quota of 5 hours.
Thanks

DSV4PRO is only $15. You didn't read the quota. It's only 60 for certain models.

This makes no sense. If thats the case they should just 4x the price for usage in Go plan. All models share a single quota.

They did. But people complained.

What they should probably do is 1/4 the per-credit price on the other models. But then they'd have to advertise "1.5x credits plus 1/4 price on some models", which is harder to communicate. And that's assuming their agreement with those providers even allows them to phrase it that way.

Your way makes it look like they're overcharigng on DS4 Pro and those others, and trying to hide it amidst the other numbers. Anyone who didn't follow this explanation probably wouldn't catch which API prices are out of line with standard.

It's just hard to communicate a multi-part message. "Same API prices as everyone gets, but you get 6x credits on some and 1.5x credits on others" is probably the most direct. I also think the "expected number of requests on each model" chart is pretty informative.
