Alibaba cloud boosts token plan quotas by over 70% while keeping monthly fees stable for core tiers

Alibaba Cloud has announced an increase in the subscription quotas for its Token Plan personal version, effective November 9, 2026. For the Lite, Essential, and Standard tiers, the monthly subscription fees remain unchanged, while the monthly quotas see substantial increases, ranging from approximately 74% to 78%. The specific increases include the Lite plan moving from 11,500 to 20,000 Credits for a 39 yuan monthly fee; the Essential plan rising from 25,500 to 45,000 Credits at 79 yuan; and the Standard plan increasing from 45,000 to 80,000 Credits for 139 yuan. Furthermore, the top-tier Pro plan saw adjustments to both its quota and pricing. Its quota increased from 180,000 to 200,000 Credits, while the monthly fee decreased from 499 yuan to 312 yuan, representing a reduction of about 37.5%. When calculating the unit cost (monthly fee divided by monthly quota), all four tiers—Lite, Essential, Standard, and Pro—experienced a cost reduction exceeding 42.5%. These revised quotas apply to existing subscribers starting today. Current subscription periods will be topped up to the new standards, though Pro users will maintain their current cycle price until the next billing period, when the new rate will take effect.
