Rate limits
Rate limits govern how many requests you can make. The following limits apply to every account, regardless of account status or balance.
Personal daily allowance#
For a complimentary model — any id ending in -free, plus jev:
| Model id | Requests per day |
|---|---|
deepseek-flash-free | 200 |
deepseek-v4-flash-free | 200 |
glm-5.3-flash-free | 200 |
jev | Unlimited |
Personal allowances reset daily at 00:00 (UTC+8).
Platform-wide daily capacity#
On top of your personal allowance, the platform provides a limited total capacity for complimentary models each day, first come first served. It exists because complimentary models are billed at a 99% promotional discount as a limited daily offer rather than as a permanent free tier.
| Complimentary lane | Daily capacity |
|---|---|
| DeepSeek lane, shared by deepseek-flash-free and deepseek-v4-flash-free | ~6 billion tokens |
| GLM lane, glm-5.3-flash-free | ~2 billion tokens |
| TypeSafe lane, jev | Unlimited |
How the two limits interact#
- Your personal allowance and the platform-wide capacity apply at the same time. Reaching either one pauses complimentary access for the rest of the day.
jevhas no personal daily allowance and does not count toward the platform-wide capacity — its usage is unlimited.- During peak hours the daily capacity can run out early. It is not replenished within the same day and resets alongside personal allowances at 00:00 (UTC+8), so off-peak usage is recommended.
- Any change to the daily capacity is announced on this page in advance.
