QwenCloud Token Plan night discount is now a two-rate policy: the Qwen flagship pair deepens to 60% off Credits between 22:00 and 08:00 (UTC+8) — qwen3.8-max moves from 50% to 60% off and qwen3.8-flash joins the night discount at that rate — while the three DeepSeek rows keep their 50% off. The same split now carries on all four Personal Token Plan records (Lite, Essential, Standard and Pro), which share the night-discount terms. The discount window itself is unchanged.

Site data correction, not a claimed provider price move: qwencloud.com/models/qwen3.6-flash now publishes the model’s own rate rows, so the calculator stops substituting the qwen3.7-flash flash-tier proxy into Qwen3.6-Flash (0.49 → 2.39 credits per request at the 1,100-fresh / 71,500-cached / 220-output Grok shape the gap tables use; ~0.34 → ~1.68 at Qwen3.6-Flash’s own 850 / 49,000 / 160 shape), and the bare deepseek-v4-flash page now returns 404, so DeepSeek V4 Flash re-points to the served deepseek-v4-flash-0731 row that the docs allowlist names ($0.2/$0.4/$0.04 → $0.22/$0.66/$0.022). Both figures apply to all four Personal Token plans, which inherit the per-model rate map.

The provider states the weekly quota was removed on this date for the QwenCloud Token Plan Personal tiers (Lite, Essential, Standard, Pro): each subscription now carries a 30-day-cycle quota instead of a rolling 7-day window, and existing subscriptions had their remaining quota reset once to the full monthly quota with subscription periods and expiration dates unchanged. Both measured effects: the allowance totals rise roughly 5–7% per 30 days against the old rolling-7-day extrapolation (Lite 2,500 × 30/7 ≈ 10,714 → 11,500) and the reset cadence stretches from every 7 days to the subscription month. Plan prices, promos and model rosters are unchanged.

Site data correction, not a claimed provider price cut: qwencloud.com/models/qwen3.8-max now publishes the model’s own rate row, so the calculator’s Qwen3.8-Max figure stops using the qwen3.7-max-preview proxy (which was cited as “3.8 not yet on the public PAYG table”) and roughly doubles Qwen3.8-Max Req/$1 on all four QwenCloud Token plans (Lite 37.5 → 71.75; the same correction applies to Essential, Standard and Pro). The provider’s internal per-token credit coefficients are console-only, so whether a subscriber’s credit consumption actually changed is not observable from the public pages — hence direction “neutral”.

QwenCloud adds a new Essential tier to the Personal Token Plan at $16/mo with a limited-time $10/mo promo, slotting between Lite ($8, 2,500 credits/7d) and Standard ($25, 10,000 credits/7d) with 2.25× the Lite credit budget (5,625 credits/7d); the existing three tiers are unchanged.

Common questions
Which QwenCloud plan is cheapest?
QwenCloud Lite Plan at $8/mo. The cheapest plan is not always the best value — compare Req/$1 in the calculator.
How many plans does QwenCloud offer?
4 tiers tracked, 4 currently active. Every tier is in the plans table below with its price, models and usage ceiling.
What is QwenCloud?
QwenCloud is Alibaba’s platform for the Qwen family of models, from the Qwen3.8-Max flagship down to the Flash throughput models. Its Token Plan is a credit-budget subscription on top of the same platform.
Which models does QwenCloud include?
The tracked plans list 13 models: the Qwen3.8-Max flagship, the Qwen3.7-Max and Qwen3.7-Plus tiers, the Qwen3.6 family, and Qwen3.5 — all from the Alibaba Qwen registry.
Can I use QwenCloud with any agent?
Yes — QwenCloud exposes OpenAI-compatible endpoints, so the Token Plan works with any agent that supports custom endpoints. Qwen models are also served by several BYOK routers on TokenPlans.
How does the QwenCloud Token Plan bill usage?
The Token Plan draws from a single monthly quota on a 30-day subscription cycle — unused quota does not roll over, and the service pauses for the rest of the cycle once the quota is spent (the provider removed the earlier 5-hour and 7-day windows on 2026-09-22). Because the per-model coefficient table is console-only, the calculator uses the published pay-as-you-go rates as a marked proxy.
Who is QwenCloud for?
Users who want Alibaba’s Qwen models first-party — including launch-week access to new flagships like Qwen3.8-Max — with BYOK compatibility and a night-usage discount window.
