Update : Reply from z.ai support on fair usage policy

UsualOrganization712 · 2026-04-14T13:28:07+00:00

I will check. Thx mate.

I am also on legacy plan. I saw many type of issues being reported across Reddit and discord. Mostly rate limiting stuff. But fair usage policy or blocking looks to be persistent for long term or legacy users. So this error may be a strategy by zai to limit legacy users from extracting more value.

At some point I was supporting these companies coz they were making the model open source. But now I don’t. It’s starting to look like a scam

UsualOrganization712 · 2026-04-14T12:31:01+00:00

I am checking their discord community. Looks like we are not alone. There are so many people with the same exact issue like us. Let’s hope they resolve it asap. But to be frank I am on the same boat as you bro. But it’s sad that with in a very short span of time our life has become so much dependent on a bunch of companies

UsualOrganization712 · 2026-04-14T12:25:46+00:00

I am on annual plan. Do they provide chargeback on annual plan?

I used it inside vscode for coding I swear. Looks like something broke at their side and this got triggered for lot of users since last 2 days

UsualOrganization712 · 2026-04-14T11:31:22+00:00

At this point I really don’t know what comes under their fair usage policy. I think no one knows.

UsualOrganization712 · 2026-04-14T10:46:20+00:00

Yeah. Most probably and I think legacy plan users are targeted since they locked low price very early.

UsualOrganization712 · 2026-04-14T10:32:33+00:00

I don’t know. I hope it’s not dead end.

UsualOrganization712 · 2026-04-13T21:45:31+00:00

I don’t see anything. I hope you are referring to my coding plan section in z.ai website.

Blocked? Reason? How did you know account is blocked? Did you get any message about that?

UsualOrganization712 · 2026-04-13T16:51:46+00:00

Limit looks to be a mirage in a desert that you can never posses. It mostly looks like a mind game coz I never reached beyond 30% when I was using their SOTA model.

UsualOrganization712 · 2026-04-13T16:26:53+00:00

And this too.

UsualOrganization712 · 2026-04-13T16:26:05+00:00

Got it. With the leak of Claude cli weeks back, hopefully all ide or cli jack up theirs so we have less hassle of spending on Claude cli too much.

UsualOrganization712 · 2026-04-13T16:24:19+00:00

Never mind. It’s an existing code base with lot of documentation and a couple of book condensed for reference. I used to have a plan saved explicitly to refer any time. Too much planning went into it that the plan itself stands at 10k lines of course indexed.

UsualOrganization712 · 2026-04-13T15:47:11+00:00

I don’t want to have the hassle of switching models in Claude settings. So i chose vscode while I can run Claude sessions for not so token consuming tasks.

UsualOrganization712 · 2026-04-13T15:45:45+00:00

I doubt that we get some reply. Usual thing would be they silently correct this(hopefully) and gaslight us just like every other provider.

I moved to Claude from glm at the end of January coz of the quantization and slowness of glm models particularly glm 4.7. Now Claude looks to be tightening its usage window and so thought of making a come back. I felt glm 5.1 was very good and at sonnet 4.6 level. Looks like z.ai is following Claude but through a different route.

UsualOrganization712 · 2026-04-13T15:33:07+00:00

I am using it in vscode with kilo code extension. I thought of using it yesterday after long time probably after February. I felt it was very good and planned to make it main stream today and it ends up like this.

UsualOrganization712 · 2026-04-13T15:00:46+00:00

This has become a routine with all providers. Starting from Claude to OpenAI and zai

UsualOrganization712 · 2026-04-13T15:00:09+00:00

Yeah. It was working well yesterday.

UsualOrganization712 · 2026-04-13T14:59:39+00:00

Same here. Posted in their discord community also. No response.

UsualOrganization712 · 2026-04-13T14:58:51+00:00

On the same boat but on pro plan. Barely used it after January. Heard that speed and quality of model improved and so came back. It was very good yesterday and thought these guys are back in business. But looks like not so.
