How long does the Starter pack last?
The Starter pack is credit-based, not time-based. Use your credits at your own pace — there's no expiration date.
Can I use the Starter pack for Claude Code?
Yes. Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, any SDK — all work with the same Starter pack API key.
Is there a rate limit on the Starter pack?
LLMsRelay uses protective gateway limits rather than a fixed public Starter RPM contract. If you hit 429, respect Retry-After, reduce concurrency, and contact support for sustained higher throughput.
Can I buy the Starter pack from Russia or other restricted countries?
Yes. LLMsRelay has zero geographic restrictions. The Starter pack is available in every country worldwide.
