Alibaba's Qwen Chat confusion: Limits affect Qwen Code, not web chat

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Users have expressed concern over message limits and access restrictions for Qwen Chat, but evidence suggests these issues primarily affect a different Alibaba product, Qwen Code. The free tier for Qwen Code, a CLI tool, was indeed shut down on April 15, 2026, with users receiving specific error messages about reaching their daily quota. However, the official Qwen Chat web interface does not appear to have similar documented limitations, and much of the confusion stems from unofficial clone sites displaying arbitrary message counts.
