Versions & estimation notes
OpenAI: only Pro $200 has new and previous quotas. Plus and Pro $100 are unchanged; Pro $500 is a new tier. The source reports pre-cut subscribers retain old limits until October 29.
Claude: estimates use an agentic workload. Fable is limited to 50% of the allowance. Historical samples are retained for comparison and cannot be added to new quotas.
GLM: ranges use a 95% cache-hit rate, all peak to all off-peak. Average months use 52/12 and exclude promotions ending October 7. Missing API equivalents remain unavailable.

Metric definitions
API equivalent estimates the API cost of sampled monthly usage in USD; it is not an available balance. Model pricing, caching and workloads differ, so these values do not measure model quality. Models share each plan’s allowance; values are not additive.
About these plans
Which Claude model is compared here?
Current references separate Sonnet 5.5, Opus 5.5 and Fable 5.1; Fable is capped at 50% of the allowance. Earlier Opus samples remain as historical references. The monthly fee belongs to the subscription; tokens and API equivalents describe the corresponding usage samples. Tasks, cache mix and observation dates still affect the results. These are not fixed limits for every account.
Why do token totals and API equivalents differ so much?
Usage includes cache reads. Cached input, fresh input and output have different rates. Reusing long cached contexts can produce large token totals. Read tokens and dollars together, and expand the sources to inspect the sample mix.
Does reaching the five-hour limit exhaust the week?
The short window and weekly window are separate limits. An exhausted session does not mean the week is exhausted; an exhausted weekly allowance is not restored by waiting for the next short window alone. The table separates these periods and leaves missing records blank.
