In regards to Trae, is GPT-5 model still in [beta](https://docs.trae.ai/ide/models?_lang=en)? Last time I tried Trae, I tried doing a sonnet-4 request which was marked “beta”. It was my first of my 10 fast premium requests I had on the trial, and I sat in a queue for [48 mins](https://forum.cursor.com/t/here-s-a-thought-could-the-new-token-based-pricing-plan-actually-be-the-best-thing-for-real-developers/129304/133). Right now it looks like GPT-5, Sonnet-4, and o3 are all in “Beta”. Maybe this is no longer true, and maybe that long wait was an anomaly. But are you able to get 600 requests of gpt-5 a month without waiting in a queue for $10? Because that is clearly a good deal, and hard to imagine that can be sustainable but of course ByteDance has money to burn to get people to adopt their software. I also see they have made their [privacy options](https://docs.trae.ai/ide/privacy-mode) more explicit which is good. Also when I tried Trae, there was no C# extension that worked, which was definitely a deal breaker for me. This is probably why the Cursor team maintains their own C# extension for their VScode fork. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.cursor.com/t/the-new-pricing-system-is-insane-a-main-reason-i-ll-switch-platforms/135489)._
