# Free Model Quota

## 1. Overview

MegaNova provides free usage quotas for selected models across supported tiers to enable onboarding, testing, and lightweight production use.

Free quotas are model-specific and tier-scoped, and are designed to:

* Lower initial adoption friction
* Enable developers to validate integrations
* Provide sustainable free access without compromising system stability

This document defines which models include free quota, and how that quota is applied.

## 2. Free Quota Principles

* Free quota is granted per account, not per request
* Quota is reset on a fixed cycle (daily reset at 00:00 UTC)
* Once free quota is exhausted, usage continues based on the account's billing configuration (if the charge switch is turned on)
* Free quota availability varies by model

## 3. Supported Models with Free Quota

The following table lists all models that include free quota across different tiers:

| Model                                                                                         | Model Size | Type      | Free Quota Tier 1 | Free Quota Tier 2 | Free Quota Tier 3 | Free Quota Tier 4 |

| **Total Free Quota per day**                                                                  |            |           | **550**           | **4,650**         | **4,800**         | **12,500**        |

**Characteristics:**

* Optimized for onboarding and prototyping
* Stable latency and predictable cost
* Recommended for experimentation and testing

## 4. Quota Enforcement Logic

* Free quota is consumed first when a supported model is used
* Quota tracking is model-aware
* Each request reports: Remaining free quota
* When free quota reaches zero, if users turn on the "Allow paid usage after free Quota"
  * Requests continue normally under paid usage
  * No request interruption occurs

## 5. Tier Interaction

| Account Tier | Free Quota Access              |
| ------------ | ------------------------------ |
| Tier 1       | Enabled (selected models only) |
| Tier 2 +     | Enabled + higher limits        |
| Team / Pro   | Enabled (may vary by contract) |
| Enterprise   | Configurable                   |

Free quota does not affect paid quotas or contracted limits.

## 6. Best Practices

**Use free-quota models for:**

* Prototyping
* Chatbots
* Conversational and narrative flows
* Developer testing

**Reserve paid models for:**

* Complex reasoning
* Long-context conversations
* Multimodal applications

## 7. Change Management

Model free quota eligibility may evolve based on:

* Infrastructure capacity
* Model performance
* Usage patterns
