GitHub Sponsors

GitHub Sponsors is a funding and entitlement layer, not a marketplace for tokens or guaranteed model access. GitHub handles payment; llmfaucet verifies the active sponsorship relationship and applies fair-use limits.

Plans

Only an active sponsorship of the configured justinedevs account qualifies. An unrelated sponsorship does not grant benefits. Cancellation downgrades the account after the applicable paid period; the existing key is not silently broken.

Verification model

After GitHub OAuth, the service checks sponsorship through GitHub’s documented GraphQL API. Webhook updates are signature-verified and idempotent. Entitlement changes invalidate cached API-key access. OAuth tokens and webhook secrets are never stored in application records.

What a Sponsor receives

Sponsors receive higher request limits and queue priority when capacity allows. They do not receive reserved tokens, a fixed model, unlimited usage, guaranteed latency, uptime, or a production SLA.
