The Key Missing Feature Holding CLINE Back

I believe CLINE (both the extension and CLI) is missing a significant opportunity to gain wider adoption.

The most valuable feature would be quite simple: automatic detection of OpenAI-compatible endpoints, including the loaded model name and context length.

I’ve implemented this myself and it works very well, but most users struggle with setup and end up with suboptimal configurations.

I understand the focus on a subscription model, but many people start with local models and only upgrade later. Without seamless default support for local llama.cpp setups, CLINE is turning off potential users early.

I would gladly recommend Cline above PI or Opencode if it would be more local friendly for new users.

I created a token-diet skill that cuts the usage by ~31% on average (54% best case)

I tried caveman skill the other day and I didn't see promised 65% reduction. Turns out the number was purely on the output tokens in chat. On average (of my sessions) it saved 7-8% in total. Since limits have recently become a big problem for most of us, I've decided to create a skill that cuts the tokens not just in chat, but all the unnecessary crap. Here is what it does:

  • Docs / memory / hand-offs / plans / comments - all with minimum words that still say everything
  • Grep before you read, read only the lines you need, never whole files, batch reads, fewer turns, never re-read a just-edited file
  • Batch independent tool calls and stop the moment you have enough to act
  • Less tests. Only key + critical/edge paths. ≤10 per session, never skip money/auth/data-loss
  • Extremely concise replies
  • Build only what's asked (YAGNI). Concise but idiomatic

Repo: https://github.com/Kulaxyz/token-diet

Results:

Session type Output Tokens Bill
Output-heavy (advice, planning, explanation) −81% −54%
Code change + tests (nestjs/nest, 1673 files) −49% −22%
Read-heavy comprehension −30% −17%
Average −53% −31%

ClinePass burned 98% of my weekly quota in less than 2 days. Is this normal?

wanted to share my experience with ClinePass and see if anyone else has experienced the same issue.

I subscribed to ClinePass less than two days ago because it was marketed as a solution suitable for regular daily development work.

However, after what I consider normal usage, my limits increased dramatically:

Weekly quota: 98% used

Monthly quota: 49% used

5-hour limit resets normally, but the weekly limit is almost exhausted.

I used several models through ClinePass (GLM 5.2, Kimi K2.7 Code, MiniMax M3), but my workflow was mostly normal coding, editing files, and asking the agent to implement features. I wasn't running massive code generation continuously or trying to abuse the service.

What surprised me even more is that the Activity page shows many requests with relatively small outputs, yet the weekly quota disappeared extremely quickly.

I have already contacted support and asked them to:

Review my account usage.

Explain how the weekly and monthly quotas are calculated.

Verify whether this is expected behavior or a bug.

Reset my monthly quota if the usage calculation is incorrect.

I'm not trying to attack the service. I simply expected the advertised limits to last significantly longer than they did.

Has anyone else experienced their weekly quota disappearing this fast?

I'd appreciate hearing your experience, including:

Which models you use.

How long your weekly quota usually lasts.

Whether support resolved a similar issue.

What are you using for inline completions?

I'm trying cline after the recent GitHub Copilot pricing changes and I think this is very good at replacing it.

The only thing I'm missing are the inline completions. As they're not featured in cline (and, from what I read, there is no plan the implement it) what are you using?

VSC Preview while executing is gone

Since the last update, in VsCode CLine does not provide a tab with a live update of the current file it's creating or modifying anymore, so it's more or less a black box in terms of what's happening. Is this intentional?

Best free model for Cline?

Hi everyone,

I’m using Cline mainly for VBA, PowerShell, Python and Excel automation.

So far I’ve been using DeepSeek V4 Flash Free with the Cline Provider, and it works ok.

What free model do you recommend for coding and reasoning?

Is DeepSeek V4 Flash Free still one of the best options, or is there something better?

Also, is it worth adding credits for paid models, or are the free models good enough for most tasks?

Thanks!

How to enable max mode of DeepSeek V4 Pro?

I am using OpenRouter. By default, Thinking is enabled at 6553 tokens. Does that mean the default is the max thinking mode? If not, how do I set it to max thinking mode? Thanks a lot in advance.
