Reset Passes
Instantly restore your DevPass weekly premium allowance
DevPass plans include a weekly fair-use allowance for premium frontier models. A Reset Pass restores that full allowance the moment you redeem it — no waiting for the rolling 7-day window — and a fresh window starts with your next premium request. The pass card lives on the DevPass dashboard directly under the premium allowance meter, styled as a stamped visa extension: each pass you hold appears as a stamp.

A Reset Pass removes the weekly limit — it does not add credits. Premium usage after a reset draws from your plan's monthly credit allowance exactly as before; the pass just lets you keep using premium models now instead of waiting for the window.
Reset Passes exist only on DevPass (Lite, Pro, Max). Pay-as-you-go API usage has no weekly premium cap, so there is nothing to reset.
Included and purchased passes
| Plan | Included per billing cycle | Extra passes |
|---|---|---|
| Lite | — | $9 each |
| Pro | 1 | $29 each |
| Max | 2 | $79 each |
Two kinds of stamps appear on the card:
- Included passes come with Pro and Max. They refresh every billing cycle, don't roll over, and are always consumed before purchased passes.
- Purchased passes are one-time purchases at the tier's price, bound to the tier they were bought for — a pass purchased on Pro is redeemable while you're on Pro. They never expire, so an unused pass applies again whenever you're back on that tier, even after a cancelled plan.
Redeeming a pass
Click Use a pass on the card. Your premium usage for the week is zeroed immediately and the 7-day window restarts with your next premium request. Redemption is deliberately explicit — a pass is never consumed automatically, and two guards stop a pass from being wasted: a redeem is rejected while your allowance is untouched, and also once you've used more than 90% of your monthly credit allowance (a reset then would restore a cap you have almost nothing left to spend against — the pass keeps until your credits renew).
Standard models are unaffected either way: they never count against the weekly cap.
If you hit the cap from a coding agent, the gateway's 402 response points here:
{
"error": {
"message": "You've used your weekly allowance for premium-tier models on the pro plan. Redeem a Reset Pass from your dashboard for an instant reset, upgrade for a higher allowance, or use any standard model now. Resets in 6 days.",
"type": "invalid_request_error",
"code": "billing_error"
}
}Buying and billing
Buy a pass shows a confirmation dialog, then charges the payment method saved on your DevPass — no checkout redirect, no subscription change, no proration. Each purchase emails a PDF invoice and appears in the DevPass billing history alongside plan charges. Purchases are paused once you've used more than 95% of your monthly credit allowance — a pass would give you almost nothing to use at that point — and open up again when your credits renew.
An unused pass can be returned: for 7 days after purchase, a purchased pass that hasn't been redeemed can be self-refunded from the billing history. The refund goes back to your payment method, the pass is removed from your passport, and your DevPass plan itself is unaffected.

Reaching for a Reset Pass every week? Upgrading a tier is usually the better deal — the next tier raises the weekly cap itself and brings a larger monthly allowance. Compare on the DevPass pricing page.
