False Free Usage Exceeded Message Going on for 2 Days already #58285
Description
Description
Free-tier reset date keeps rolling forward instead of resetting
Running opencode v2.1.3 (CLI, Windows).
Oct 22, ~7:54 PM: sent a message, got a normal response (confirmed in local notification log — this was a real, successful exchange).
Later that same day: correctly blocked with "You've used today's free messages. Resets at 8:00 AM · 10/23/2026."
Oct 23, 8:12 AM (after the stated reset time had passed): tried again, got blocked again — but the message now said "Resets at 8:00 AM · 10/24/2026" — the reset date had rolled forward by a full day, even though no new message had gone through.
Ruled out everything client-side: cleared all local app data and state, did a full uninstall/reinstall of both the desktop app and CLI, confirmed system clock/timezone correct, confirmed no background process or scheduled task touching the app. Identical message persisted through a completely fresh install with no local state at all.
This looks like the rate limiter may be updating "last used" on a rejected attempt, not just a successful one — meaning each time a blocked user checks again, the reset clock gets pushed another day forward instead of counting down. Happy to provide more detail if useful.

Thanks for the detailed report, and sorry about this. Being blocked for two days while the reset time moves forward each time you try is really frustrating.
The free-message limit and its reset time come from the OpenCode Console (Zen) service, not from the app. The CLI and desktop app only show the reset time the server sends back with the error. That's why clearing local data and reinstalling made no difference. Only the team can look at your account's free-tier usage and see why the reset date keeps moving, and billing and account support isn't handled in GitHub issues.

I had the same issue. I installed OpenCode today and immediately got the "You've used today's free messages. They reset at..." message, even though I hadn't used it yet.
I then realised my Surfshark VPN was enabled. After disconnecting the VPN, the message disappeared and OpenCode started working as expected.
Hopefully this helps anyone experiencing the same issue.

Closing this now, since billing and account support happens by email rather than in GitHub issues. Thanks again for the detailed write-up, @fercymiano08.
If your free messages still aren't resetting, please email help@anoma.ly with the timeline you described here and the model you were using. Please keep your email address and account details out of this public thread and put them in the email.
