- Policy28 Sept 2026
Site correction: the BytePlus ModelArk Coding Plans are bounded to an official allowlist of coding tools, not to any compatible client. The provider’s own documentation lists the supported tools (Claude Code, OpenCode, OpenClaw, TraeCode, Cline, Cursor, Codex, Roo Code and Kilo Code) and states that the quota is only applicable to supported programming tools and cannot be used for API calls, with the plan Base URL and key used in non-coding products treated as abuse or a policy violation. Prices, allowances and model lists are unchanged.

- Models28 Sept 2026
Two models joined the ModelArk Coding Plan allowlist on both Coding Plan Lite and Coding Plan Pro — the headline model list moves 7 → 9 with GLM-5.3-Flash (1M context window, 128k max output) and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (1M context window, 384k max output) added to the same roster as the $10 Lite and $50 Pro tiers. The quickstart doc’s own allowlist moved 10 → 12 entries and the only additions are these two slugs; the unlisted remainder (Dola Seed 2.0 Lite / Dola Seed 2.0 Code / ByteDance Seed Code) and the prices, quotas and tool list are unchanged.

- Price28 Sept 2026
Calculator proxy-rate realignment on both ModelArk Coding Plans: the stored DeepSeek rows no longer trace to the live PAYG table (neither $0.14/$0.28 nor $1.74/$3.48 appears anywhere on the current page), so the per-token credit rates are re-set to the live rows and the two models that joined the plan get their own rows. The reference-request valuation moves from $0.002093 to $0.0016692/req, so every Req/$1 and Burst/$1 figure on both plans moves; plan prices and quotas are unchanged.
