console: Free daily message limit reached after only a few requests in Desktop 2.1.2 #58014
Description
Description
Summary
When using free models from OpenCode Console in the OpenCode desktop app, I received a daily free-message limit error after only a few requests today.
It is unclear whether this is expected under the current free-tier limits or whether usage is being counted incorrectly.
Environment
- OpenCode version: 2.1.2
- OS: Windows
- Client: Desktop app
- Provider: OpenCode Console
- Model: A free model; exact model name to be added
- Terminal: Not applicable — using the desktop app
- Shell: Not applicable to the reproduction
- Install/channel: Unavailable — not confirmed
- Active plugins: @tarquinen/opencode-dcp@3.1.15 (from the current environment diagnostics)
- OpenCode Console account: hanlyliu12@gmail.com
Reproduction
- Open OpenCode Desktop 2.1.2.
- Select a free model provided through OpenCode Console.
- Send a few requests.
- Further requests are blocked by a daily free-message limit error.
Expected Behavior
The free-message allowance should be counted consistently.
If reaching the limit after only a few user messages is expected, the interface or documentation should clearly explain the allowance and what counts toward it, including whether internal model calls, tool-use iterations, and retries consume additional quota.
Actual Behavior
After only a few requests today, the app displayed the following message and prevented further use of the free model:
You've used today's free messages. They reset at 2026年10月23日 08:00
The reset time above is copied exactly as displayed in the UI.
Additional Context
- Date observed: October 22, 2026.
- Exact number of requests before the error: Not recorded; only a few requests were made.
- It has not yet been verified whether this reproduces across multiple free models or on subsequent days.
- I do not have enough information to determine whether this is a quota-accounting issue or an expected free-tier restriction.
Could you clarify:
- What is the daily allowance for free models?
- Is the allowance shared across all free models?
- Do tool-use iterations, retries, or other internal model requests count separately from user messages?
- Is there a way to inspect current usage and the remaining allowance?

Thanks for the detailed report, and sorry about the trouble. Hitting the daily free limit after only a few requests is frustrating, especially when it isn't clear what counts toward it.
The free-model limit is enforced by the OpenCode Console (Zen) service, not by the desktop app. Questions about how the limit applies to your account have to go to the team. Billing and account support isn't handled in GitHub issues, so please email help@anoma.ly with the details: roughly when you hit the limit, which free model you used, and whether you were on a VPN or proxy, since a shared IP address can also trigger free limits. If you've already emailed them, the team will get to it, especially now that we've seen it here.
Please keep account details such as your email address and any payment information out of this public issue. You may want to edit the issue to remove the account email you included, and send it in the email instead.

Hi @hanlyliu12-wq, I'm closing this issue now because the team handles billing and account questions by email, not on GitHub. If you still have questions about your free-message limit, please email help@anoma.ly. Please keep account and payment details out of this public issue and send them in the email instead. Thanks for the detailed report, and sorry for the trouble.
