Endlesstokens is a commercial LLM API service that bills by time (day/3-day passes) rather than per-token, offering an OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible endpoint backed by self-hosted open-weight models. The time-based pricing model is an interesting alternative to metered APIs, but the project is a paid product with limited technical documentation rather than an open-source codebase.

Target audience: AI application developers and coding-agent users seeking predictable LLM costs
