Summary

Address recurring assistant confusion about how the API is billed relative to consumer plans, and clarify that reasoning support extends beyond the models listed in the effort tables.

Changes

  • overview/pricing.mdx: added a "How the API bills" section explaining pay-as-you-go metering, no free tier, and that Free/Pro/Max plans on venice.ai apps do not grant API allowances. Aligns the English page with the intro already present in the localized (zh/ko/es/fr/de/pt-BR/it/ar) versions.
  • overview/pricing.mdx: expanded the "Pro Users" section to state that the one-time $10 credit is the only Pro benefit on the API, that no recurring API allowance is included, and that Pro-only models return AUTHENTICATION_FAILED_INACTIVE_KEY when called without an active Pro subscription.
  • guides/features/reasoning-models.mdx: added a note above the model-support tables that other models may still emit reasoning tokens (visible in usage.completion_tokens_details.reasoning_tokens) even when not listed, and to check supportsReasoning / supportsReasoningEffort on /v1/models for authoritative capability discovery.

Context

Recurring assistant conversations showed users confused about whether Pro subscription allowances apply to API usage (multiple pricing-bucket threads) and unsure how to tell if a specific model is a reasoning model when it is not called out in the reasoning-models page.
