The short version The pricing model has not moved on the continuum over the window.
The verdict
Leonardo.Ai has not moved on the continuum since January 2025 — a hard allotment at both ends of the window. It runs a Fast-Token meter where almost every action carries a token cost (Essential $12 / Premium $30 / Ultimate $60 monthly tokens; Free a hard 150/day), and the four-tier structure predates the window unchanged. The defining mechanic is a hard ceiling with no auto-billed overage on any subscription plan; running out means waiting for the next cycle, drawing down the Rollover Bank (a July 2024 softening), or upgrading. A soft edge exists — Premium and Ultimate grant unlimited Relaxed Generation on Leonardo's own models — but Free, Essential, and all premium third-party models stay hard-stopped. The 2025–2026 developments are additive model launches priced into the same meter.
