On Pro: Pro's count on each model. Cost: what OpenRouter charged us per reply, on average.

Every limit is published. Paid plans also have a monthly fair-use limit on AI cost: Pro $7.50, Max $20, Ultra $42, Studio $85. Using every message on your plan at typical sizes stays under it; very large messages and heavy research use it faster. Every limit, explained.

How these runs were done

Tests. Automatic. The function runs against the prompt's tests in a separate Node.js process with a time limit and no file, network or child-process access; it passes when every test passes.
