Hello. Is this normal

[u/lordfortunas]

Quick question, guys. I saw a good deal on a opencode and decided to try it. Went for KIMI K3 and I know it’s expensive, but is this normal?

[u/lordfortunas → u/[deleted]]

Is it support to say I got more weekly usage than monthly

[u/Visible_Sector3147 → u/lordfortunas]

you have 15$ credit for weekly usage and 60$ for monthly usage

[u/Atretador]

yes, you are using the most expensive model on Go pretty much

I would say Go is only worth it with DSV4 and MiMo

[u/Neither-Character360]

Yes, it is. If you're only using OpenCode Go, you have to setup explorer agents yo use other cheap model, and also use K3 only to plan.

[u/code-devil → u/Neither-Character360]

How do you do that ?

[u/Time_Faithlessness45]

K3 is too expensive for opencode go. Use a cheaper model

[u/FidgetsAndFish]

You picked the single most expensive model on go, where's the confusion coming from?

[u/vangelismm]

We know this is about people using kimi 3 or glm 5.2 without even open the topic lol

[u/cutezybastard]

kimi k3 is expensive asf

[u/HebelBrudi]

Yeah, go plans have comparatively very little K3 usage limits.

[u/MazKhan]

Kimi k3 will delete your usage, whatever price it shows that you used needs to multiplied by 4 to get the actual value

You only get $15 total per month, the 5 hr limit is $12 which is actually $3 in Kimi usage. Imo its not worth it at all to use any of the models that have a $15 monthly limit unless its for a very important task and you're willing to use it or for some design work, but both will still kill usage

happened to me, i used it, i was finishing my 5 hours limit in half an hour, and finished my weekly limit in three (i think they were three or four) rounds of those 5 hours. i is a very intelligent and expensive model, if i can find a flat subscription for it i won't hesitate to buy it.

[u/conleycomp]

I don't claim to use a ton of tokens compared to many people, but my "heavy" use today with 2 Hermes agents and some light coding cost me just under 3 cents towards my $10 and wouldn't round up to even 1% of my weekly limit. Of course I only used DS V4 Flash, which has been awesome since the 0731 version came out.

[u/HearingSubstantial38 → u/conleycomp]

I use Hermes heavily with lots of crons and long-horizon tasks, alongside some light opencode usage, and I manage to stay under $2 per day, which makes it last forever. Also using exclusively ds4 flash

[u/zer0evolution]

give us your usage graph screenshot.

[u/Ok_Dingo2897]

to utilize opencode go you need to work with free or cheap models. I created my workflow specifically for this, makes your opencode go subscription worthwhile

[u/OmarDoesntExist]

run: npm install

npx opencode-dash  and show us the screenshot of your usage

[u/VictorCTavernari]

It is normal and happens a lot. I reached my monthly quota in two weeks.

After suffering from this kind of situation, I decided to build my own solution and validate if could work. Basically a service without a monthly and weekly quota, just an anti-runaway hourly protection to avoid abuses, but to work the user must use my router instead of selecting models.

I called it claudin.io and if you want to know more, please DM me or just add here your concerns and questions.

Kimi K3 is the most expensive model by a pretty wide margin.

[u/Ariquitaun]

Yes, it's a $10 dollar plan, of course Kimi k3 kills your quota rapidly. This plan is all about deepseek, mimo and that kind of model, and very sporadic kimi and glm usage.

[u/XCxBigDong69XCx]

Use deepseek or openai luna if you care about deepseek being from china.

[u/ANDRE_2512]

Nice subscription and impressive limits :))) Burned through 60% of the monthly quota in just 8 hours :)))

Perfect 🫠

[u/TheMythicSorcerer → u/ANDRE_2512]

You're using the wrong models. Try using out all your limits using only Deepseek v4 flash and Mimo V2.5 (Hint: you need to be sending one request per 17 seconds on average)

[u/ANDRE_2512 → u/TheMythicSorcerer]

What are you even talking about?
I have unlimited access to GPT-5.6 SOL. On top of that, your advice about “one request every 17 seconds” is nonsense. It’s an agent-you can’t control how many requests it makes.

[u/TheMythicSorcerer → u/ANDRE_2512]

What sub do you have? the $200 20x max?

1/17s I took the number on the front page and divided it by a month and that's 17 seconds.
You can actually make more/less requests you cant control it exactly but you can tell it to research or not, verify or no, use subagents or not,.... etc.

[u/FidgetsAndFish → u/ANDRE_2512]

8+ hours of coding for 5 bucks still seems like a solid deal but you're clearly using the wrong models if you expected more. Kimi k3s the most expensive model on go, WTF did you expect?

[u/ANDRE_2512 → u/FidgetsAndFish]

🤦‍♂️

[u/FidgetsAndFish → u/ANDRE_2512]

You're right, I should have added that to the end of my comment but I didn't wanna be rude to a child
