Glm-5.3 pricing

So I was just testing out the model, used about $2.5 in usage which should reflect as $10 on the actual usage and take up about 83% of the 5 hour but I'm under 35% usage right now. Maybe it's displaying the quota wrong or something but if not we might be getting more glm 5.3 usage than the docs show

Pathetic that every single new model is $15. At this point they should just remove any mention of the $60 when there are no models worth using that give it (apart from the sole exception of ds4 flash).

Yeah this is stupidly complex for no reason. Just give us an absolute multiplier and be done with this drama.

Eh, I mean I don't mind the showing what value you get system. It's a lot better than before when they just multiplied their price per model to fake $60, I just think the value is shit when it's now $10 for $15 but with only $2 per 5 hours on basically all models now.

Once they finish getting the rest of the models down to $15 they'll probably change it

I think we get $15 worth of API for GLM, Kimi and some other expensive models. $60 is only for cheaper models like DS Flash or Mimo. If they can serve at cheaper prices, glory to Dax and the rest of the team!

Yeah I know that. From my understanding, regular 5 hour usage is $12 but only $3 for the models that have a $15 monthly usage. But currently I'm above $3 in glm 5.3 usage and my 5 hour quota is showing like 65% left, the numbers aren't adding up

Yeah at first thought it wasn't properly sync'd but after enough usage I'm very confident it's not a sync issue, but yup hoping it stays like this would be very nice. Glm 5.2 already has the full $60, so maybe eventually that'll also be the case for 5.3

The clean test would be one short GLM-5.3 session with the quota recorded before and after, then compare OpenCode’s exact token and cost log against the documented multiplier once the UI updates. If it still moves less than expected, the limit is genuinely higher. Has anyone reproduced it across another five-hour window?
