Watch out for this
The free version's 40 times is **shared among three basic models**, not 40 times per model. Moreover, the truly useful Claude Sonnet/GPT-5.5 only has "limited trial" with an unspecified number of times on the official website - if you want to use it seriously, you will definitely hit a wall. Its value lies in **subscribing to access all three models**, not the free quota.
They also argued about these things on another page.When the free quota is insufficient, how much does it cost to pay for it?
