(I work at Zed) No, you aren't. We care about you using Zed the editor, and we provide Zed Pro for folks who decide they'd like to support Zed or our billing model works for them. But it's simply an option, not our core business plan, and this pricing is in place to make that option financially viable for us. As long as we don't bear the cost, we don't feel the need (or the right) to put ourselves in the revenue path with LLM spend.

Will you consider providing a feature to protect me from accidentally using my Zed account after the $5 is exhausted (or else a plan that only includes edit predictions)? I can't justify to myself continuing my subscription if there's a risk I will click the wrong button with identical text to the right button, and get charged an additional 10% for it. I get you need to be compensated for risk if you pay up front on my behalf, but I don't need you to do that. I understand that there's nothing you could do to protect me if I make a prompt that ends up using >$5 of usage but after that I would like Zed to reject anything except my personal API keys.

  Yep, you can set your spend limit to $0 and it will block any spend beyond your $10 per month for the subscription https://zed.dev/docs/ai/plans-and-usage#usage-spend-limits https://zed.dev/docs/ai/plans-and-usage#usage-spend-limits

I’m curious if there’s any way to completely disable/remove `zed.dev` provider from Zed, while keeping others available?

  If you sign out of zed, zed's providers don't work. I believe you still see them in the AI panel, but it won't operate.
