- What happened
- Ollama switched Pro, Max, and Team plans to transparent per-token pricing with monthly usage credit pools instead of GPU-time billing.
- Why it matters
- Matters for engineers using Ollama's cloud API who need predictable costs and want to avoid hidden fees or session limits.
- Watch out
- Existing subscribers keep old plans unless they manually upgrade. Unused monthly credits don't roll over. Switching resets your usage pool.
