Technical Details

• API Endpoint: https://www.minimaxi.com/v1/api/openplatform/coding_plan/remains
• Auth: Bearer token (Coding Plan API Key)
• Important: The API returns usage_count as REMAINING prompts, not used!
• Window Calculation: 15 x 5-hour windows (1500 total = 15 × 100 for Plus plan)
  • Total = 1500 prompts
  • Used = 1500 - usage_count
  • Current window = usage_count % 100
