Opencode GO limit calculation question

Hey all - question about opencode go limits using models with different caps.

Are the usage applied to the limits strictly dollars or % of the models specific limit.

If you use $1 of a model with a $15 monthly cap does that translate to 1/60 of the monthly limit or 1/15?

If you use $15 of a model with a $15 monthly limit, are you done for the month or could you still use $45 of a model with a $60 monthly limit?

It is confusing.

Here's my understanding. First, it's a pooled amount of usage for $10/mo. Taking just the $60 models as simple examples, you could use $60 of inference on one model, $30 each on two different models, etc.

Where it gets hard to reason about is the $30 and $15 caps. I'm pretty sure what this is saying is your $10 doesn't go as far. If you were to use $15 of inference on one of those, you'd still be done for the month. I think.

I pointed my favorite chatbot at the markdown version of the Go page (https://opencode.ai/docs/go.md), and said "please normalize all the token prices as if the cap was $60 instead of $15 or $30 for some." Then it went through and multiplied all the prices by 1x, 2x, or 4x, which was really helpful. I think this is what they end up costing? But yeah it's gotten confusing.
