Thanks for the report, @ramithu2024-blip. I think this is a duplicate of #56324. That issue reports the same error with the same free model (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash Free) in the official TUI on v2.0.32, and it has been confirmed on Linux, macOS and Windows.
These issues may cover the same problem, ordered from most to least likely:
The error comes from the hosted OpenCode Zen gateway, not from your local setup, so your MCP servers are probably not the cause. To help the team look into it, please add a comment on #56324 with the UTC time of a failed request and whether it also fails on a different network.
The bot will close this issue as a duplicate in 1 day unless you reply explaining how your problem is different.

We haven't heard back, so I'm closing this as a duplicate of #56324. That issue reports the same "OpenCode's free tier can only be used from within OpenCode" error with DeepSeek V4.1 Flash Free in the official TUI on v2.0.32, and it is being followed there.
The error is returned by the hosted Zen gateway, not by your local setup. If it still happens to you, please add a comment on #56324 with the UTC time of a failed request and whether it also fails on a different network (see #56334). If your problem turns out to be different, reply here and we can reopen this issue.
