Cline without a token bill: a VS Code agent on our models

Why connect it

Cline is an autonomous agent for VS Code. Its OpenAI Compatible provider lets you set the Tenzo Cloud address, key and model id.

We recommend GLM 5.3 for agent work and Qwen 3.8 Max for large projects.

Common errors and fixes

Cline stalls and hits 429

The agent sends several requests at once. If streams run short, add more; we recommend 4 for an agent.

401 invalid_api_key, “key not found”

Make sure the whole key is copied with no spaces or quotes and is enabled in the dashboard. Expired keys also return 401.

403 no_access, “no access to this model”

There is no active subscription for this model, or the key does not allow this model or your IP. Check Plans and the key restrictions in the dashboard.

404 model_not_found

The model id is wrong. Use an id from the model list, for example qwen-3.8-max or glm-5.3.

429 concurrency_limit

All your streams are busy or you exceeded 120 requests a minute. Retry in a few seconds or buy more streams, they stack.

503 model_unavailable

The model is under maintenance. Each model’s status is on the status page; switch models with one line.
