   Same issue during last hours, go servers are down?

   Edit: Fixed by using models hosted in China like Deepseek V4 Pro

   Thanks for the report! To help us track this down, could you share:

   • Your OpenCode version (opencode --version)
   • Your operating system and how you installed OpenCode
   • Which interface you use: terminal TUI, desktop app, web, or opencode serve/attach
   • The provider(s) and model(s) you were using
   • Whether the hang happens in one long session, or also when you start a new session without restarting OpenCode
   • Any logs from around the time it hangs (if you can find them), or a screenshot

   You can reply here with the details or edit the issue. If you edit it, please also leave a comment saying you've updated it so we know you're done.

   These existing issues look related, roughly ordered from most to least likely. Please check whether one of them already covers your problem:

   • server: model step hangs with no timeout, session stays busy until interrupted #53747: a model step hangs with no timeout, and the session stays busy until interrupted
   • Agent loops stalls randomly silently (working indefinitely) #46310: the agent loop stalls silently and keeps showing as working
   • cli: service becomes unresponsive under multi-session load — single process bottleneck #49095: the service becomes unresponsive under multi-session load
   • Performance degradation and long "Thinking" timeouts after multiple context compactions #50103: performance drops and "Thinking" takes a long time after several context compactions
   • desktop: session hangs indefinitely in Working/Thinking after Oct 22 update (Bun runtime) #58786: desktop sessions hang in Working/Thinking after the Oct 22 update
   • [BUG] Desktop: conversation freezes mid-"thinking", no error, must abort and resend — missing watchdog/retry UX #41365: desktop conversations freeze mid-"thinking" with no error

   We're closing this for now because we haven't received the details we asked for: OpenCode version, OS and install method, which interface you use, provider/model, and any logs. Without them we can't tell what's causing the "Thinking" hang or whether it matches an existing report.

   If it still happens, please reply here with those details and we can reopen it. In the meantime, #53747, #46310, #49095 and #50103 describe similar hangs and may already cover your case.
