Lines taken from the page
- Standard $25,000 of list price inference / month with no fees, 5% fee after
- Business $25,000 of list price inference / month with no fees, 5% fee after
- No plan-based ones. On Standard, Business and Enterprise, limits on paid models come from the provider, not from your plan; only OpenRouter's DDoS protection can reject very high burst traffic. Free models carry the caps in the answer above.
