Free Claude Opus 5.5 via the Tokenator API

What the model is for

This model is available on a free plan with set usage limits. Claude Opus 5.5 is Anthropic's flagship model for complex logical reasoning, programming, and long-term agent management tasks, replacing Claude Opus 5. It is particularly effective when performing multi-stage changes to large codebases, verifying and finding errors in code, performing financial and scientific analysis, and working with complex graphs, charts, and screenshots. Compared to the previous version, the model handles numerical data and sources more carefully, striving to provide only the information it can confirm. Claude Opus 5.5 completes comparable tasks in fewer steps and with lower token consumption than Opus 5. The model also provides clearer progress reporting: what has been done, what results have been obtained, and what additional information is required from the user. The thinking mode is always adaptive, so the effort parameter allows you to choose a balance between the depth of reasoning, latency, and cost. Low effort levels remain effective for tasks where high response speed is particularly important.

Is Free Claude Opus 5.5 really free?

Yes. Requests to this model do not draw down your key's token limit — no multiplier is applied and your paid bundle stays untouched. A daily allowance applies instead: 3.5M tokens and 60 requests per day.

What is the limit on the free model and when does it reset?

The allowance — 3.5M tokens and 60 requests per day — is counted per key and per model, and resets at 00:00 UTC. Spending one free model's limit leaves the other free models usable.

What happens when the daily limit runs out?

The request returns 429 with the code free_model_daily_limit and a message stating what was spent and when it resets. Your paid key limit is left alone — there is no automatic switch to paid billing. The remaining allowance per free model is returned by /v1/tokens.

Do free models need a separate key?

No. The same key and the same base URL as for paid models — only the model field changes. The full list of free models is on its own page, and the mechanics are in the documentation.
