   Thanks for the report, and sorry about the trouble. I think this is a duplicate of #56762, which reports the same Forbidden, OpenCode Free Model Gateway Detect Abuse Traffic error. It was opened earlier today and several users have confirmed it there, including one using the official Desktop app.

   This error comes from the hosted OpenCode free model gateway, not from the app itself. You asked for a summary of similar reports: there are many today, and most of them come from people using the official client. That suggests a problem on the gateway side affecting many users, not something specific you did. Here are the possible duplicates and related issues, ordered from most to least likely:

   "Detect Abuse Traffic" error

   • Forbidden, OpenCode Free Model Gateway Detect Abuse Traffic #56762: same error, opened earlier today, several confirmations (Forbidden, OpenCode Free Model Gateway Detect Abuse Traffic #56789 was already closed as its duplicate)
   • ارور Forbidden, OpenCode Free Model Gateway Detect Abuse Traffic #56756: same error, started a few days ago, on all models
   • Forbidden, OpenCode Free Model Gateway Detect Abuse Traffic #56803: same error
   • Forbidden, OpenCode Free Model Gateway Detect Abuse Traffic #56805: same error
   • Abuse of traffic #56814: "Abuse of traffic", same block
   • The filtering system prevented me from using OpenCode #56808: first wrongly flagged as an unofficial client on Fedora, then the IP was blocked. Looks like the same sequence you saw

   Free-tier 429 limits

   • Zen free models: publish the current free-usage limit and return it in 429 responses #55816: request to publish the free-usage limit and include it in 429 responses
   • Free OpenCode Zen models consistently return HTTP 429 despite being listed as available. #43786: free Zen models consistently returning 429

   Also, you're on 1.18.26, which is v1. Upgrading to v2 (@opencode/cli) is still recommended, although #56324 shows the free-tier check can also affect v2.
