Z.ai GLM Coding Plan limit reached?

Z.ai publishes detailed business error codes. A reset-window limit, weekly or monthly exhaustion, high traffic, rate limit, and overlong prompt each need a different response.

Preserve first: Copy the Z.ai business error code and any next_flush_time or reset detail before retrying. Distinguish usage window, weekly/monthly exhaustion, high traffic, request rate, and prompt length; do not treat them as one generic limit.

Match the failure before retrying.

1308 usage limit reached

Wait until the next_flush_time shown in the message or use another permitted model or tool.

1310 weekly or monthly limit exhausted

The quota window must reset. Repeated retries do not change it.

1312 model experiencing high traffic

Retry later or switch to the alternate model named by the service.

1261 prompt exceeds max length

Reduce the context and start from a focused continuation packet.

1305 rate limit triggered

Lower request frequency or concurrency before retrying.

Safe recovery path.

Record the inner business code as well as the outer HTTP status and model name.

Capture project state, changed files, failed attempts, and verification output before changing models.

Apply the code-specific action: wait for reset, switch model, reduce frequency, or shorten context.

Continue with one bounded task and re-check every inherited result that is not backed by disk or test output.

What the next AI should receive.

GLM model and interface, exact Z.ai error code/message, next_flush_time or reset shown, prompt length/context, request frequency, current project diff, and the permitted next model or check.

How ShardStitch works with Z.ai GLM.

ShardStitch prepares the same trusted project packet for Z.ai GLM or another supported AI. It avoids spending the next quota window re-reading the repo and keeps old-model claims separate from verified facts.

Source trail.

The linked Z.ai error-code reference, HTTP best-practices guide, and context/concurrency concepts map different business codes to different actions. Check the current code and model documentation before applying a quota or retry remedy.

FAQ.

Does Z.ai code 1308 mean the weekly or monthly quota is exhausted?

No. The guide distinguishes code 1308 usage-window limits from code 1310 weekly/monthly exhaustion. Use the exact code and reset detail returned.

Should code 1312 be handled like code 1305?

No. The page maps 1312 to model high traffic and 1305 to a rate-limit condition. Follow the corresponding current Z.ai guidance rather than repeating the same request rapidly.

Will shortening the prompt fix every GLM Coding Plan limit?

No. A shorter prompt may address an input-length condition such as code 1261, but it does not replenish an exhausted quota or resolve every high-traffic/rate condition.

Scope note: This guide covers the GLM Coding Plan/API codes and distinctions in the linked Z.ai sources. Error codes, models, and plan behavior can change; preserve the exact current response.
