OpenCode Zen Free Models Rate Limit After Opening Multiple Sessions #56523
Description
Description
I'm experiencing a rate limit issue with all OpenCode Zen built-in free models.
Before the issue started, I had one session running and actively working. While that session was still running, I opened a second session and started sending messages there as well.
After that, all free models started returning this error:
"Rate limit exceeded. Please try again later."
I tried switching between different free models, but the error persisted across all of them.
Could running two sessions simultaneously have caused me to reach a shared usage limit? If so, could you please tell me when my free usage will reset?
I'd also appreciate confirmation of whether this is a temporary rate limit or an account-specific restriction.
Thank you for your help

Thanks for reaching out, and sorry about the trouble. Getting "Rate limit exceeded" on every free model at once is frustrating.
That error comes from the OpenCode Zen service, which limits how much the free models can be used. The limit is applied on the server to your account or network as a whole, not to each model, so switching between free models won't get around it. Only the team can check whether your account has hit the free limit, when it resets, and whether anything account-specific is going on. You can also see your current usage at https://opencode.ai/console.
Account and billing support isn't handled in GitHub issues. Please email help@anoma.ly with the details: roughly when it started, which models you used and what happened. If you've already emailed, the team will get to it, especially now that we've seen it here. Please keep email addresses, account details and payment information out of this public issue and put them in the email instead.

Hi @MarkChristopherAlcantara, I'm closing this issue because account and usage questions like the Zen free-model limit are handled by email, not in GitHub issues. If you still need to know when your free usage resets or whether anything specific to your account is going on, please email help@anoma.ly. If you've already written to them, the team will follow up there. You can also check your current usage at https://opencode.ai/console. Thanks for your patience!
