“Should our agency buy an endlesstokens pass now, and which duration fits the client work in front of us?”
Buy the shortest endlesstokens pass that covers a scheduled client workflow, and only after the endpoint and agent are configured and tested.
Agencies buy a 3-day pass during setup and discovery, burn the window on configuration calls, then re-buy at full price when the client's actual coding work begins; the pass should be purchased after the base URL, key, and et:auto routing are verified against a real prompt.
endlesstokens charges a flat fee per time window ($15 for 1 day, $36 for 3 days) with no token or request cap, so the pass only pays off when real consumption happens inside that window. The clock starts at payment, and the two-session-per-key cap plus the 128K context limit bound what a single pass can serve. With no multi-tenant isolation, each client needs a separate account, which makes pass timing a per-client scheduling decision rather than a shared agency subscription.
- •A client engagement involves long-running coding-agent sessions (Aider, Cline, Claude Code, Roo) where per-token metering has already produced an invoice surprise
- •The agency can scope the work into a window of 3 days or less, matching the $36 3-day pass or the $15 1-day pass
- •Concurrent demand per client stays at or below the two parallel sessions per key that endlesstokens enforces
- •Prompts fit inside the 128K context window and need no more than five images per request
- •The client can hold their own account and API key, since endlesstokens offers no multi-tenant client isolation
