Hello, I think Cody would be useful for me since I’m full time developer. I want to get Cody Pro, but I have a couple of questions.
It states that “Unlimited messages and commands per month” , and that I guess means that I can chat with Claude 3.5 non stop for 9$ per month ? Why is Claude on their own platform 20$ (pro version)? Or I’m missing something ?
It says one developer should be using one account. That means I’m totally free to use my own Github account to work on multiple machines right ? since I’m working on many machines ?
I saw somewhere that it’s not training data as I code, but I just want to make sure since I’m working in a company and I don’t want anything that would ruin privacy.
Yes, that’s right. The enterprise tier users are compensating partly the costs for the free and pro users. Therefore Sourcegraph can offer $9.
Yes, You can use your Sourcegraph account on different machines and IDEs. You only need to login with your access token by yourself or generated automatically during login.
Imagine this. You have been given a basket of 200 small apples for free every month. But you want more apples. So you pay $9 and you get a giant basket with lots and lots of little apples in it. So many that you won’t starve.
And that’s exactly the only imaginable information I can give you about what it means to get a higher daily limit.
I hope you don’t mind?
Yes, you could call it like that. In fact, the daily limit is set very high compared to other competitors. We also limit the requests on a per-minute basis to avoid abuse.
In the past, we have seen that there are users who think that because there are 200 messages per day, they can use them with a bot within 30 minutes. We want to prevent this with fair use.
Sorry but what is a number that “can hardly be reached with fair use”? Because I can easily reach 500 messages per WEEK. Yesterday I spent 20 messages within a couple of hours implementing a single feature in my Laravel app. You can see how a user can easily consume messages depending on the complexity of the feature they’re implementing.
To be honest, I wouldn’t mind paying a higher monthly subscription for the peace of mind of knowing that I will never hit that limit (with fair use of course).
@Halnex I am pretty sure that nobody from Sourcegraph will give you precise number because it would be subject for the abuse then (some users would try to squeeze every request of this limit). Also this limit probably can change or is fine-tuned over time so today it may be one number, tomorrow - absolutely another. Also another thing to take in account as PriNova commented before - request burst interval (how many requests you make per minute, day).
I think your 500 requests per week is a bit on average/high usage scale but probably should be fine if you stay in that limit.
Nothing too bad would happen if you also hit this limits (with fair use of course) - probably you could message SG on Discord or here to review your case and maybe increase the limits or offer you different option.
So TL;DR; I would suggest not to worry about this too much if you are using Cody under the fair use and other ToS terms.

Actually, this is what I’m afraid of. I’m worried that this “high” usage would be misconstrued as abuse and my account terminated.
This is why I wouldn’t mind having a custom subscription package with higher limitations (nothing too crazy and well within the ToS and fair use policy).

$9 Pro is now hidden at the bottom, instead of a separate tier at: Sourcegraph | Pricing
Sorry, but that was very confusing today for me. I believe the Pro is very valuable for most developers, but you put it far far away. That is a shame. But it seems to be on purpose.
