The GLM Coding Plan is strictly limited to use within officially supported tools and products. The subscriber shall not use the subscription benefits in any unsupported tools or scenarios. If the system detects usage through unauthorized or unsupported tools (such as SDK-based access or other third-party integrations), some subscription benefits may be restricted to ensure fairness and service stability. ## Usage The plan can be applied to coding tools such as Claude Code, Cline, and OpenCode, covering a wide range of development scenarios: Describe requirements in plain language to automatically generate plans, write code, debug issues, and ensure smooth execution. Get real-time, context-aware completion suggestions that reduce manual typing and significantly improve productivity. Input error messages or descriptions to automatically analyze your codebase, locate problems, and provide fixes. Ask questions about your team’s codebase anytime, maintain global understanding, and receive precise answers with external data integration. Automatically fix lint issues, resolve merge conflicts, and generate release notes—allowing developers to stay focused on core logic. ## Advantages * **Access to high-intelligence Coding Model:** Upon release, the GLM series achieved SOTA performance among open-source models in reasoning, coding, and agent capabilities, delivering outstanding results in tool use and complex task execution. * **Works with Multiple Tools:** Beyond Claude Code, it also supports Cline, OpenCode, and some specific tools, giving you flexibility across development workflows. * **Generous Usage at a Fair Price:** Get higher call limits than standard plans. Starting at just 18 USD per month, with Pro and Max plans designed for high-frequency, complex projects. * **Expanded Capabilities:** All plans support Vision Understanding, Web Search MCP， Web Reader MCP and Zread MCP helping you tackle a wider range of development tasks. ## Benefits ### Supported Models All plans support **GLM-5.1**, GLM-5-Turbo, GLM-4.7 and GLM-4.5-Air. ### Usage Instruction To manage resources and ensure fair access for all users, we apply usage limits on a 5-hour and weekly basis. You can check your quota consumption progress in [Usage Statistics](https://z.ai/manage-apikey/subscription). One prompt refers to one query. Each prompt is estimated to invoke the model 15–20 times. **The monthly available quota is converted based on API pricing, equivalent to approximately 15–30× the monthly subscription fee (weekly caps already factored in).** | Plan Type | 5-Hour Limit (Dynamically refreshed; quota resets 5 hours after consumption) | Weekly Limit (Activated upon subscription; resets every 7 days) | | --------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | | Lite Plan | Up to approx. 80 prompts | Up to approx. 400 prompts | | Pro Plan | Up to approx. 400 prompts | Up to approx. 2,000 prompts | | Max Plan | Up to approx. 1,600 prompts | Up to approx. 8,000 prompts | The above figures are estimates. Actual available usage may vary depending on project complexity, repository size, and whether auto-accept is enabled. **GLM-5.1** and **GLM-5-Turbo** are advanced models designed to rival Claude Opus model. Its usage will be deducted at **3 × during peak hours** and **2 × during off-peak hours**. We recommend switching to GLM-5.1 for complex tasks and continuing to use GLM-4.7 for routine tasks to avoid rapid quota consumption. **As a limited-time benefit, GLM-5.1 and GLM-5-Turbo will only consume 1× quota during off-peak hours, valid through the end of June.** Peak hours are 14:00–18:00 (UTC+8). ### Exclusive MCP Access **MCP Usage Limits** * **Lite Plan**: Include a total of 100 web searches and web readers per month, along with the 5-hour maximum prompt resource pool of the package for vision understanding. * **Pro Plan**: Include a total of 1,000 web searches and web readers per month, along with the 5-hour maximum prompt resource pool of the package for vision understanding. * **Max Plan**: Include a total of 4,000 web searches and web readers per month, along with the 5-hour maximum prompt resource pool of the package for vision understanding. Once the monthly quota is reached, these MCP tools will be unavailable until the next billing cycle. **For Vision Understanding MCP**, all plans share a 5-hour maximum prompt resource pool with the underlying model. Once the limit is reached, the quota will automatically reset after a 5-hour window. ### How to Switch Models Mapping between Claude Code internal model environment variables and GLM models, with the default configuration as follows: * `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL`: `GLM-4.7` * `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL`: `GLM-4.7` * `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL`: `GLM-4.5-Air` If adjustments are needed, you can directly modify the configuration file (for example, `~/.claude/settings.json` in Claude Code) to switch to GLM-4.5 or other models. ## How to Integrate with Coding Tools ## Next Steps Get up and running in minutes — from subscribing to the plan to using it in your coding tools.
