Mini Program Growth Initiative

Overview

Users who have successfully registered for the "Mini Program Growth Initiative" can receive the following benefits based on their WeChat Cloud Development environment status at the time of registration:

• If you have no WeChat Cloud Development environment at the time of registration, you can receive a free 6-month valid Personal Edition environment and an "AI Resource Pack".
• If you select a WeChat Cloud Development environment in the free trial development phase at the time of registration, that environment will be automatically upgraded to a 6-month valid Personal Edition environment and you will receive an "AI Resource Pack".
• If you select a WeChat Cloud Development environment that is not in the free trial development phase at the time of registration, you can claim a CloudBase promo voucher worth CNY 120 and receive an "AI Resource Pack".

Sign-up Portal: WeChat Official Account Platform -> Industry Capabilities -> Mini Program Growth Initiative

Friendly Reminder

If your mini program is not bound to a Tencent Cloud account, a Tencent Cloud account will be created by default using the mini program account when you sign up.
If you already have a Tencent Cloud account, you can go to Tencent Cloud -> Account Info to bind the mini program, so that no new Tencent Cloud account will be created.

Only environments under WeChat Cloud Development are supported for selection at the time of registration. Environments created on the Tencent Cloud are not supported for direct selection yet. Please convert the Tencent Cloud environment to a WeChat Cloud Development environment before registering. For detailed steps, see Use an Existing Tencent Cloud Account's CloudBase Environment in a WeChat Mini Program.

Event Rules

• A mini program account can only participate in the Mini Program Growth Initiative once
• If a mini program has already claimed resources from the Growth Initiative, the system does not support switching Tencent Cloud accounts or CloudBase environments.
• The AI Resource Pack can only be used in mini programs and cloud functions; usage from other sources is not supported
• Promo vouchers are valid for 6 months from the date of issuance and can only be used for CloudBase products
• Promo voucher issuance is subject to Tencent Cloud account rules; vouchers cannot be issued if the requirements are not met
• Any adjustments will be updated in the announcement 15 days in advance

AI Resource Pack

The AI Resource Pack includes the Hunyuan Token Resource Pack and the Hunyuan Image Generation Resource Pack. It is valid for 6 months from the date of successful application and can only be used in WeChat Mini Programs and the CloudBase server-side. View the usage guide

Usage Notes

The free AI Resource Pack quota from the "Mini Program Growth Plan" is only for Mini Programs and the CloudBase server-side. When calling hy3 in AI tools or other scenarios, the deduction will be made normally from your plan quota — as long as your plan has sufficient credits, usage is fully supported. If you are not on a Resource-Point plan, you can upgrade to one.

In these scenarios, we recommend prioritizing deepseek-v4-flash, qwen3.5-flash, glm-5.2, kimi-k2.6, minimax-m3 models. See the Special Governance Announcement for details.

hy3-preview will be taken offline

The hy3-preview model will be taken offline soon. Once it is offline, access to this model will no longer be available. Please switch the model parameter in your code to hy3 as soon as possible. See Notice on the Offline of the Hy3 Preview Model.

• The hy3-preview model in Phase 2 will be taken offline soon. Please switch to hy3 as soon as possible.

Top-up for Existing Phase 1 Users

Existing users who participated in Phase 1 of the Mini Program Growth Initiative will automatically receive the following Phase 2 top-up:

• A top-up of 900 million Tokens and 90,000 image generations
• Valid for 6 months from the top-up date
• Distributed automatically by the system, expected to arrive in batches starting July 1

note

If the environment has been deleted, the top-up cannot be applied. Developers will need to register a new mini program to claim it.

FAQ

1. Where can I check the usage of the AI Resource Pack?

   Note: Log in with your WeChat Official Accounts Platform account and select the mini program that has applied to the Mini Program Growth Plan.

   Resource check entry points:

   • CloudBase plan: CloudBase Console → Package Usage
   • CloudBase voucher: Tencent Cloud Expense Center → Promotion Management → Vouchers
   • Text/Image model usage: CloudBase Console → AI Model Usage. When the Token or image generation resource pack usage reaches 80%, 90%, or 100%, a notification will be sent via the WeChat official account.

2. How to call text-generation and image-generation models?

   For details on how to call text-generation models and image-generation models, see the Mini Program Growth Plan User Guide.

3. What to do when the AI Resource Pack runs out?

   • Text token exhaustion: Switch to a Resource-Point Plan to continue using models such as DeepSeek, Kimi, MiniMax, GLM, and Hunyuan. For details, see AI Model Access - Resource-Point Plan.
   • Image generation quota exhaustion: The CloudBase plan does not support deducting image generation quotas, nor does it provide image generation resource packs. You can switch to another image generation provider directly in your cloud function code.

4. How to handle concurrency exceeding the limit?

   When encountering the error code EXCEED_CONCURRENT_REQUEST_LIMIT, it indicates a high number of concurrent users. You can handle it in the following ways:

   • Add retry logic: Implement retry logic in your code to automatically retry after a brief wait when this error occurs.
   • Switch to other available models: The CloudBase plan supports models such as deepseek-v4-flash and glm-5.2, which can be used and will be deducted from your plan quota as normal.

   Overall platform resources are limited, so increasing the concurrency limit is not supported.

5. How can I develop mini programs using natural language?

   You can use the CloudBase MCP/Skill to quickly develop mini programs by describing requirements in natural language. Click to view the usage guide
