Overview

The GLM Coding Plan is a subscription package designed specifically for AI-powered coding. With a minimal investment, you can enjoy Zai’s high-intelligence models across mainstream AI coding tools, delivering an intelligent, fast, and stable coding experience.

Usage

The plan can be applied to coding tools such as Claude Code, Cline, and OpenCode, covering a wide range of development scenarios:

Natural Language Programming

Describe requirements in plain language to automatically generate plans, write code, debug issues, and ensure smooth execution.

Intelligent Code Completion

Get real-time, context-aware completion suggestions that reduce manual typing and significantly improve productivity.

Code Debugging & Repair

Input error messages or descriptions to automatically analyze your codebase, locate problems, and provide fixes.

Codebase Q&A

Ask questions about your team’s codebase anytime, maintain global understanding, and receive precise answers with external data integration.

Automated Task Handling

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 Coding Tools: Beyond Claude Code, it also supports Cline, OpenCode, and other mainstream coding tools, giving you flexibility across development workflows.
• Faster, More Reliable Response: Generate over 55 tokens per second for real-time interaction. No network restrictions, no account bans—just smooth, uninterrupted coding.
• Generous Usage at a Fair Price: Get higher call limits than standard plans. Starting at just 10 USD per month, with Pro plans from 30 USD per month 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

• GLM-5: Supported on both Max and Pro plans; expected to be available on the Lite plan by the end of March
• GLM-5-Turbo: Supported on the Max plan; expected to be available on the Pro plan by the end of March and on the Lite plan sometime in April

All plans support GLM-4.7, GLM-4.6, GLM-4.5, 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.

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 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 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-Turbo will only consume 1× quota during off-peak hours, valid through the end of April.

Peak hours are 14:00–18:00 (UTC+8).

• For users who subscribed and enabled auto-renewal before February 12 (UTC+8), the original quota will remain in effect throughout the subscription validity period, and no weekly usage limits will apply.
• For users who enabled auto-renewal before February 12, both the renewal price and the usage quota will remain unchanged and will continue to follow the limits shown at the time of your original subscription.

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.

Supported Tools

• The plan can only be used within specific coding tools, including Claude Code, Roo Code, Kilo Code, Cline, OpenCode, Crush, Goose,OpenClaw and more.
• Once subscribed, GLM-4.7 is automatically available in the supported tools using your plan’s quota—no additional configuration required. If the quota is exhausted, it will automatically reset at the start of the next 5-hour cycle. The system will not consume other resource packs or account balance. Users with a Coding Plan can only use the plan’s quota in supported tools and cannot call the model separately via API.
• API calls are billed separately and do not use the Coding Plan quota. Please refer to the API pricing for details.

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.
