I don’t want Silicon Valley deciding when I’m allowed to spend my own monthly budget. The 5-hour windows, the weekly caps, the “your usage resets Monday 7:00 AM”. It feels like convincing my mom that I’m an adult and that this should be my decision. GLM Coding Plan, Kimi, MiniMax all these have the 5-hour thing too… So I’ve been testing providers that don’t do the limit thing. So far Standard COmpute has been the best of them for me. Flat monthly price, no 5-hour or weekly windows, and honestly the most open and transparent about usage and pricing of everything I tried. Includes both open and close sourced models. Featherless is also in this terrain, but don’t serve frontier models. Devpass and kilo is also on the list, but haven’t tried yet. Anyone with any experience here? Openrouter is of course on the list too, full control and every model, but it’s pay-per-token, and token anxiety is real. I don’t want to wake up to a runaway $1,000 bill because an agent got creative overnight. Any other LLM providers you’ve tested that don’t interfere with when usage is spent? submitted by /u/Firm-Club-8334
