Free access to agentic chat ends for most orgs. Here's exactly what you get, what you lose, and what to do next.
If you've been using Agentforce Vibes as your AI coding assistant in VS Code, the free access to agentic chat is ending for most orgs on June 1, 2026. Salesforce has published its billing transition plan with a clear timeline, model details, and the options you have going forward. Here's the full breakdown straight from the official docs.
Why Is This Changing?
According to the official Agentforce Vibes billing documentation, the shift to a paid model is to meet enterprise-scale demands. Salesforce states the change allows them to offer increased capacity and better models while managing infrastructure costs.
The Transition Timeline
Claude Sonnet 4.5 became the Pro model. Free limited access was updated to 110 requests / 1.5M tokens per org per month. GPT-5 mini became the fallback. Previously the limit was 50 requests / 1M tokens per org per day.
Free access ends for non-Developer Edition orgs. Flex Credits or the Unmetered Platform Developer and Admin AI User PSL will be required to continue. Developer Edition orgs keep limited free access (110 requests / 1.5M tokens on Claude Sonnet 4.5) — but this becomes a lifetime limit, not a monthly refresh. No fallback model for DE orgs once the limit is hit.
The Two-Tier Model System
According to the official docs, Agentforce Vibes uses a two-tier LLM approach — Pro and Core. It always starts on Pro and automatically falls back to Core when Pro limits are hit.
| Tier | Model | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Pro | Claude Sonnet 4.5 | Primary — used for all chat and interactive sessions |
| Core | GPT-5 mini | Fallback — kicks in automatically when Pro limits are reached |
Exact Usage Limits
All limits below are per org, not per user, and published directly on the official billing page. Whichever limit is hit first triggers the switch or cutoff.
| Feature | Model | Limit (per org) | Resets |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vibes Chat — Pro | Claude Sonnet 4.5 | 110 requests or 1.5M tokens/month | 30 days from first request |
| Vibes Chat — Core fallback | GPT-5 mini | 1,500 requests or 15M tokens/month | Same 30-day window |
| Inline Autocomplete | GPT-4.1 | 1,500 requests or 15,000 tokens/day | 24 hours from first request |
What About Developer Edition Orgs?
DE orgs keep free access after June 1 — but with one critical difference from today. The 110 requests / 1.5M tokens allowance on Claude Sonnet 4.5 is a lifetime limit for the org. It does not refresh month to month, and there is no Core fallback once you hit it. For a solo developer doing occasional Vibes work, this may last a while. For anything ongoing, it will run out.
Your Two Options After June 1 (Non-DE Orgs)
- Flex Credits — Salesforce's consumption-based credits model. Pricing details are noted as "coming soon" in the official docs. Watch the billing page for updates.
- Unmetered Platform Developer and Admin AI User PSL — A permission set license that removes metered limits on Vibes. The right option for teams using it daily.
Key Takeaways
- Free agentic chat access ends June 1, 2026 for non-Developer Edition orgs
- After June 1, you need Flex Credits or the Unmetered Platform Developer and Admin AI User PSL
- Pro model: Claude Sonnet 4.5 — 110 requests or 1.5M tokens per org per month
- Core fallback: GPT-5 mini — 1,500 requests or 15M tokens per org per month
- Inline autocomplete: GPT-4.1 — 1,500 requests or 15,000 tokens per org per day
- All limits are org-level — team usage adds up fast
- DE orgs keep free access but it is a lifetime org limit, not a monthly refresh
- The 30-day window starts from your first Pro model request, not the calendar month
If you're a solo developer on a DE org you're probably fine for a while. If you're part of a team using Vibes regularly in a sandbox or production org, talk to your admin this week — June 1 is here.
