Current pricing, model access, usage-limit summaries, and a human-verified change history.
Direct answer
Cline agent cost is separate from model cost
Cline is an open-source agent and harness. Cline billing, the optional $9.99/month ClinePass, BYOK, and local models are separate access methods with different costs and limits. Cline itself has no universal subscription quota.
