OpenCode's free tier can only be used from within OpenCode. Download it at https://opencode.ai and keep building. #56343
What the error means: OpenCode's free models (opencode/...) are served by the hosted OpenCode Zen service. That service rejects requests it doesn't recognise as coming from an official OpenCode client. The message is misleading because people also get it inside the official app. Known causes include:
Not being signed in to OpenCode Console. Try opencode auth login opencode, or /connect in the app.
A custom agent that denies the shell/bash tool. Setting it to ask has fixed this for some people.
Your network, VPN or proxy. Some people only get the error on certain networks, and it goes away on another connection.
To work out which one applies to you, could you share:
Your OpenCode version (opencode --version, or the version shown in the Desktop app).
Your operating system, and whether you use the Desktop app, the terminal (TUI) or opencode run.
Which model and which agent you use (built-in Build/Plan or a custom agent).
Whether you are signed in to OpenCode Console, and whether you use a VPN or proxy. If you can, try another network, for example a phone hotspot, and tell us whether that changes anything.
Whether this ever worked for you, and if so, roughly when it stopped.
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 may already cover your problem. They are ordered from most to least likely:
Thanks for the screenshot! It shows you're on OpenCode 2.0.32 in the Desktop app.
That matches #56324, so I think this is a duplicate of it. Several people get this exact error with free models in the official app on 2.0.32, starting around today. Signing in again, starting new sessions or using other free models doesn't help there either. The message comes from the hosted OpenCode Zen service, not from the app on your computer. Some commenters there think it may be how the service now reports that the free-tier usage limit was exceeded, but this hasn't been confirmed.
Possible duplicates and closely related issues, ordered from most to least likely:
You can subscribe to #56324 to follow updates. The bot will close this issue as a duplicate in 1 day unless you reply explaining how your problem is different, for example if it works on another network.
We haven't heard back, so I'm closing this as a duplicate of #56324. That issue covers the same "free tier can only be used from within OpenCode" error with free models in the official app on 2.0.32. Please subscribe to #56324 to follow updates.
If your case turns out to be different, please comment here or open a new issue with the details. For example, it might work on another network (#56334).
