DevPass Pay-As-You-Go Overflow

DevPass no longer has to stop at 100%: opt into pay-as-you-go overflow and, once your monthly allowance is used, requests keep flowing from a credits balance billed at provider rates. Top up from the dashboard with your saved card, set auto-reload so the balance refills itself, and track it all on the new Usage page.

Until today, hitting 100% of your DevPass monthly allowance meant a hard stop: every request was rejected until renewal, and the only ways forward were upgrading a tier or leaving for the pay-as-you-go product on llmgateway.io. That is the worst possible moment to be interrupted — usually mid-session, inside a coding agent. Now DevPass supports pay-as-you-go overflow: an opt-in that keeps requests flowing past the allowance by billing them from a credits balance, with the same API key and the same agents.

Off By Default, On When You Say So

Overflow is strictly opt-in. Until you enable it, your plan works exactly as before — the monthly allowance is a hard cap, and nothing ever charges past your subscription price.

Behavior Overflow off (default) Overflow on
Within monthly allowance Plan credits, as today Plan credits, as today
Monthly allowance exhausted Requests rejected with 402 Requests bill your credits balance
Weekly premium cap, mid-cycle Reset Pass or wait Reset Pass or wait — unchanged
Weekly premium cap, allowance exhausted Requests rejected with 402 Premium models bill your credits balance
Credits balance empty Requests rejected with 402 until you top up

Two details worth knowing:

  • Usage is billed at provider rates with no markup on tokens — the same metering as your plan allowance. A 5% platform fee applies when you buy credits (plus 1.5% for international cards).
  • Reset Passes keep their job. Mid-cycle, the weekly premium fair-use cap still applies even with overflow on — a Reset Pass remains the way to more premium usage inside your plan. Overflow takes over only once the monthly pool itself is gone.

Top Up And Auto-Reload From The Dashboard

Enable overflow on the new Usage page, then top up ($10–$5,000) with the card already backing your DevPass subscription — no checkout redirect. Turn on auto-reload and the balance refills itself: when it falls below your threshold, we charge your reload amount to the saved card. Disabling overflow always disables auto-reload with it, so you can never buy credits you cannot spend.

Every top-up is idempotent end to end — a double-click or a retried request reuses the same charge instead of creating a second one.

A Dedicated Usage Page

The dashboard is now split in two: Overview keeps your coding activity, a compact allowance snapshot, your API key, and quick-start guides; the new Usage page carries the full meters, the weekly premium allowance, Reset Passes, the model usage chart, and the pay-as-you-go controls.

Also New: GitHub Copilot Is A First-Class Agent

GitHub Copilot's BYOK mode (VS Code's "OpenAI Compatible" provider and the Copilot CLI) sends no source header — it identifies only through its User-Agent, which our detection previously missed. The gateway now recognizes real Copilot traffic automatically, so it shows up in your agents dashboard, on the public leaderboard, and as a carrier in your passport, with no configuration needed.

Available on every DevPass tier — Lite, Pro, and Max.
