Free Models, Free Server: A 30-Minute Quota Probe Before You Trust Either

Описание и применение

Проверка бесплатного уровня MonkeyCode с помощью скриптов выявила наличие доступных моделей, отслеживание квоты и ограничения запросов, позволяя принять обоснованное решение.

Задача

Developers cannot reliably assess the validity of free tier claims for model quota and server uptime from marketing statements alone.

Результат

The probes confirmed server availability, presence of rate‑limit headers, and accurate usage tracking. The burst test identified the request‑per‑minute limit, providing actionable data to evaluate the free tier.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Run the model and usage probe script to list models, send a minimal completion, and inspect response headers and usage fields.
• 2. Verify server reachability via a successful /models call.
• 3. Check for rate‑limit headers and usage object to confirm quota tracking.
• 4. Execute the burst test script to send one request per second for 60 seconds and record the first 429 response.
• 5. Analyze results to determine if free tier meets expectations for quota and request limits.

Доказательства

A working /models call proves the server is reachable.

Источник

A usage object that shows prompt_tokens and total_tokens proves the model quota is being tracked.
