Zhipu AI
Z.ai's subscription quota for GLM coding models across Claude Code, OpenClaw and more than 20 supported developer tools.
Quick answer
GLM Coding Plan has its own prices, endpoints, supported-tool policy, quotas and MCP allowances, so it should be tracked separately from the BigModel API and z.ai assistant.
GLM Coding Plan is Z.ai's subscription route for coding agents and IDE tools. All tiers now support GLM-5.3, GLM-5-Turbo and GLM-4.7; requests using the previous GLM-5.2 or GLM-5.1 IDs are automatically routed to GLM-5.3. The plan uses points calculated separately from input, cached-input and output tokens, with Lite, Pro and Max receiving 2,000/10,000, 12,000/60,000 and 28,000/140,000 five-hour/weekly credits. Off-peak model usage costs 50% of standard credits. The plan integrates with more than 20 tools and includes Vision Understanding, Web Search, Web Reader and Zread MCP services.

Editorial verdict
Developers who want predictable GLM usage for supported coding agents, repository work and MCP-assisted research.
Avoid it when you need a general-purpose API quota, unsupported tools, refundable billing or throughput without rolling and weekly caps.

Review prompt, file, media upload, retention and training-use terms before sensitive workloads.
Use the documented Anthropic-compatible endpoint and map Claude model variables to GLM models.
Use the plan with officially supported agent tools sharing one subscription quota.
Use Vision Understanding, Web Search, Web Reader and Zread MCP alongside coding sessions.
Choose among 2,000, 12,000 or 28,000 five-hour credits and corresponding 10,000, 60,000 or 140,000 weekly caps based on repository workload.
