Given that I don't pay for any subscriptions and just coast on the free tiers of OpenCode and OpenRouter (along with some judicious use of llama.cpp locally when things are scoped well enough enough for a local model), I'm fine with this. I had the $20/month Claude one for a few months starting in February, but one day it randomly started returning me errors claiming I needed to pay for more credits despite the usage showing 8% for the week and 20% for the session, and I figured if they couldn't even communicate to me the difference between them screwing up the check for hitting the limit or an outage, it wasn't worth it for me to keep paying them. I dislike OpenAI too much to want to pay them any of my personal money for anything, and when I tried out Mistral Vibe it did not work very well for me (it kept not following instructions and eventually when I kept trying to push it to handle things better it somehow spiraled into simulating some sort of existential crisis, culminating in gibberish and random characters being dumped on my screen infinitely until I killed the process; incredibly entertaining, but not worth paying for)
