Common errors and solutions

Error message

Possible cause

Solution

InvalidApiKey: No API-key provided.

  1. The API Key is not configured.

  2. The tool uses the x-api-key header instead of Authorization: Bearer.

  1. Go to the Token Plan Team Edition page to copy your dedicated API Key and configure it in your tool.

  2. Change the authentication method to Authorization: Bearer. For configuration details, see Set up AI tools.

InvalidApiKey: Invalid API-key provided.

  1. You used the Alibaba Cloud Model Studio general-purpose API Key (sk-xxx format) or the Coding Plan API Key by mistake.

  2. The Token Plan Team Edition subscription has expired.

  3. The API Key was copied incompletely or contains spaces.

  1. Go to the Token Plan Team Edition page and use your dedicated API Key. Ensure the key is copied completely without any spaces.

  2. Check whether your subscription has expired.

  3. If the error persists, reset the API Key in the console and configure the new key.

model 'xxx' not found or not supported

  1. The model name is misspelled or has incorrect capitalization.

  2. The model does not support the current protocol. For example, deepseek-v3.2 only supports the OpenAI-compatible protocol, not the Anthropic protocol.

  1. Verify that the model name is case-sensitive and matches the model ID listed in Supported models.

  2. deepseek-v3.2 must be called through the OpenAI-compatible endpoint. For configuration details, see the integration guide for your specific tool.

invalid access token or token expired

You used the Base URL for Coding Plan or another plan by mistake.

Anthropic-compatible endpoint: https://token-plan.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com/apps/anthropic

OpenAI-compatible endpoint: https://token-plan.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1

Incorrect API key provided

You used the Alibaba Cloud Model Studio general-purpose Base URL (dashscope.aliyuncs.com) by mistake.

Anthropic-compatible endpoint: https://token-plan.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com/apps/anthropic

OpenAI-compatible endpoint: https://token-plan.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1

Range of input length should be [1, xxx]

The input content, including conversation history and code context, exceeds the maximum context length of the model.

Start a new session or compress the context. You can also switch to a model with a larger context window.

Connection error

The Base URL domain is misspelled, or a network connection issue occurred.

Check the Base URL domain spelling and your network connection.

Image generation

What image generation models are supported?

Token Plan Team Edition supports image generation models such as the qwen-image-2.0 series and the wan2.7-image series. For details, see Supported models.

How do I use image generation models in coding tools?

Image generation models use separate APIs and cannot be called directly through the text model's Base URL. You need to integrate them through your tool's Skill or extension mechanism. For configuration details, see the image generation model integration section in the integration guide for each tool.

Product features

Can the Token Plan Team Edition API Key be used with other plans or general-purpose APIs?

No. The API Keys and Base URLs for Token Plan Team Edition, Coding Plan, and the Alibaba Cloud Model Studio pay-as-you-go service are not interchangeable. Do not mix them. Using an API Key from another plan will not deduct from your Token Plan Team Edition quota.

Can I use one subscription across multiple tools?

Yes. You can use the same API Key across all compatible AI tools, and all usage is deducted from the same shared quota.

What are the usage restrictions?

This plan is for interactive use within compatible AI coding and agent tools only. It cannot be used for automated scripts or application backends. Violations may result in subscription suspension or API Key blocking.

Purchasing

Can I purchase multiple plans at the same time?

Each Alibaba Cloud account can have only one active Token Plan Team Edition subscription.

Can I get a refund for my subscription?

Token Plan Team Edition subscriptions are non-refundable. Before subscribing, see Usage policies for details.

Does an overdue Alibaba Cloud account affect Token Plan Team Edition?

Token Plan Team Edition is a prepaid subscription product. As long as your plan quota is not exhausted and the subscription is still within its validity period, an overdue Alibaba Cloud account does not affect your Token Plan Team Edition usage.

Billing and metering

What are the credit deduction rules?

Actual Token Plan Team Edition consumption depends on the combination of input tokens, cached tokens, and output tokens in each request. Credits are first deducted from the seat quota. After the seat quota is exhausted, credits are deducted from the shared usage pack. When all quotas are depleted, the service is suspended until the next billing cycle or until you purchase a shared usage pack to replenish the quota.

How do I check my usage?

You can view usage details for your plan and shared usage pack on the Token Plan Team Edition page.

How does usage reset work?

The seat quota resets at the end of each subscription month. Unused quota does not carry over to the next month. The shared usage pack quota also resets monthly.

What happens when I exceed my quota?

After the seat quota is exhausted, credits are automatically deducted from the shared usage pack. When all quotas are depleted, the service is suspended. You can restore the service in the following ways:

  • Upgrade to a higher-tier plan.

  • Purchase a shared usage pack to replenish your quota.

  • Wait for the quota to reset automatically at the next billing cycle.

Data security

How is data security ensured?

Token Plan Team Edition does not use conversation data to train models.
