    Sure... still let's keep an eye on the docs, the affected models are still denoted "free" right now...

    I checked around in the source files, ran some raw web requests against the endpoint, and saw exactly what's going on. The 402 Payment Required error is only happening on the DeepSeek models.

    Here is what the endpoint returns:

    {
  "error": {
    "message": "Error from provider (DeepSeek): Insufficient Balance",
    "type": "unknown_error",
    "param": null,
    "code": "invalid_request_error"
  }
}

    HTTP Status: 402

    Quick Status Breakdown

    • 🟢 mimo-v2.5-free ➔ 200 OK
    • 🔴 deepseek-v4-flash-free ➔ 402 Payment Required (Upstream wallet empty)
    • 🟢 nemotron-3-ultra-free ➔ 200 OK
    • 🔴 big-pickle ➔ 402 Payment Required (Upstream wallet empty)
    • 🟢 north-mini-code-free ➔ 200 OK

    other free models are failing to, maybe from the load of deepseek users finding alternatives

    Not sure I haven't had any issues testing just now. Could be a possibility of course.

    opencode free models have limits too. and they reset within 5 hours i think.
    so just wait for 5 hours and come back. it works again for me too

    but do aware, that in the opencode docs, it says free models are free for a limited time.
    they are using the free models usage as a training ground for their models. when the
    training ends, it probably will no longer be free :(
