Quota Tracking
9Router tracks quota in real-time:
- Token consumption - Input/output tokens per request
- Reset countdown - Time until next quota reset
- Usage percentage - How much quota used
- Auto fallback - Switch to next tier when exhausted
Dashboard view:
Claude Code Pro
├─ Quota: 75% used
├─ Reset: 2h 15m (5-hour)
├─ Weekly reset: 3 days
└─ Fallback: glm/glm-4.7 (cheap tier)
Best Practices
1. Use Free Tier First
Priority:
1. Gemini CLI (180K/month FREE)
2. Antigravity (FREE Claude)
3. Claude Code/Codex (paid subscriptions)
2. Track Quota Daily
- Check dashboard every morning
- Plan heavy tasks around quota resets
- Use cheap/free tier for non-critical tasks
3. Create Smart Combos
Example combo:
1. gc/gemini-3-flash-preview (FREE primary)
2. cc/claude-opus-4-5 (Complex tasks)
3. glm/glm-4.7 (Cheap backup)
4. if/kimi-k2-thinking (FREE fallback)
4. Optimize by Time
Morning: Fresh 5-hour quota (Claude/Codex)
Afternoon: Gemini CLI (1K/day)
Evening: Subscription quota
Night: Cheap/free tier
Troubleshooting
"Quota exhausted"
Solution:
- Check dashboard quota tracker
- Wait for reset (5-hour or daily)
- Use combo fallback to cheap/free tier
"OAuth token expired"
Solution:
- Auto-refreshed by 9Router
- If issues: Dashboard → Provider → Reconnect
"Rate limiting"
Solution:
- Subscription quota out
- Add fallback:
cc/claude-opus → glm/glm-4.7 - Use free tier:
if/kimi-k2-thinking
Next Steps
- Setup cheap backup: Cheap Providers
- Add free fallback: Free Providers
- Create combos: Dashboard → Combos → Create New
