Alibaba Cloud Token Plan Personal Edition began rolling out higher monthly Credits at 20:00:00 on 9 November 2026 (UTC+8). Official documentation says the change takes effect gradually, and the exact switch time follows the actual update.
International site (Singapore, USD)
The international site is currently available only in the Singapore region and is priced in US dollars. Current monthly prices and quotas, as shown on the official overview (Last Updated: Nov 09, 2026), are:
| Plan | Current price | Monthly Credits |
|---|---|---|
| Lite | $6/month | 20,000 |
| Essential | $10/month | 45,000 |
| Standard | $18/month | 80,000 |
| Pro | $43/month | 200,000 |
The only deployment mode is Global, so inference may run worldwide, and prompts and outputs involve cross-border transfer.
China site (China North 2, Beijing, CNY)
The China site uses a different currency and region. It is currently limited to China North 2 (Beijing) and is priced in yuan. English documentation on Alibaba Cloud's China site still lists yuan prices and the Beijing region; international dollar prices appear on the international site.
On the China site, Lite, Essential, and Standard keep their official prices and only receive more Credits. For Pro, the official wording is that the list price and official discount price are reduced by 37%, and the official discount price after the change is 312 yuan a month.
| Plan | Official price before | Credits before | Official price after | Credits after |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lite | 39 yuan/month | 11,500 | 39 yuan/month | 20,000 |
| Essential | 79 yuan/month | 25,500 | 79 yuan/month | 45,000 |
| Standard | 139 yuan/month | 45,000 | 139 yuan/month | 80,000 |
| Pro | 499 yuan/month | 180,000 | 312 yuan/month | 200,000 |
How current subscriptions are adjusted
For the current subscription cycle, the plan total is topped up to the new Credit amount, and Credits already used do not change. If the cycle's quota is already exhausted when the change takes effect, the difference between the old and new amounts is added and can be used through the end of the cycle.
The Pro price stays the same in the current cycle. The new price takes effect in the next subscription cycle; upgrades and renewals follow the new price.
Credits and how the plan may be used
Credits consumed per request are dynamically determined by model type, token usage, thinking mode, and tool calls. They are not a one-to-one Token count.
The plan is for interactive use only in tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Qwen Code, Qoder, and OpenClaw. It must not be used for automation scripts, custom application backends, or any non-interactive batch calls. Violations may lead to a paused subscription or a banned API Key. Calls started interactively inside a tool through a Skill, Slash Command, or Agent count as normal use.
Other rules that are not this adjustment
A limited-time night Credit discount for named models is a separate promotion, not this change to monthly quotas and the Pro price. See Alibaba Cloud Model Studio Token Plan Softens Night Credits for Qwen and DeepSeek.
Limited-time new-user prices run through 23:59:59 on 30 November 2026 (UTC+8) and apply only to accounts that have never bought Token Plan Personal Edition. On the international site, Lite is $3 a month and Essential is $5 a month; Standard and Pro have no new-user price. On the China site, those new-user prices are 19.5 yuan and 39.5 yuan a month. Usage packs cost 100 yuan or $15 each for 20,000 Credits, with up to five held at once. Unused Credits do not carry over to the next cycle, and Personal Edition does not currently support cancellation.
