Free Limit Usage Bug #58579
Description
Description
I installed OpenCode and used one of its built-in free models. I sent only ONE prompt, but shortly afterward, I received the message:
"You've used today's free messages. They reset at..."
I waited until the advertised reset time, expecting my free usage allowance to become available again. However, the issue persisted, and I still couldn't use the free models.
I find this extremely frustrating because I barely used the service, and even waiting for the reset didn't resolve the issue.
Expected behavior: The free usage allowance should work normally and reset at the advertised time.
Actual behavior: I was blocked after sending just one prompt, and the restriction persisted after the advertised reset time.
Could you please investigate whether this is a problem with the free usage quota, reset mechanism, or account eligibility?
Thank you.

Thanks for reporting this, and sorry about the trouble. Being blocked after a single prompt, and still being blocked after the reset time you were shown, is really frustrating.
The daily free-message limit and its reset time are counted and enforced by the OpenCode Zen (Console) service, not by the OpenCode app. The app only shows the message and reset time the service sends back. Only the team can check why your account is still blocked or whether another limit applies.
Billing and account support isn't handled in GitHub issues, so please email help@anoma.ly with the details: which free model you used, roughly when you sent the prompt, the reset time you were shown, and when you tried again. If you've already emailed, the team will get to it, especially now that we've seen it here. Please keep your email address, account and payment details out of this public issue and put them only in the email.

Same problem here. Right after upgrading to opencode 2.1.4 (may be involved).
Got the message "You've used today's free messages..." with expected reset at 2:00 AM today.
Today at 11:30 AM I get the same message right after my first message, with reset at 2:00 AM tomorrow.
Using DeepSeek V4.1 Flash Free, but changing models gives the same result.

Same problem here after updating to Opencode Desktop 1.9.14. I hadn't used OC for the last 2 weeks — updated today, and on the very first prompt I immediately got the 'Free usage exceeded, subscribe to Go...' message.

Hi @amirxon2011amirxon, we're closing this issue now. The free-message limit and its reset are counted by the OpenCode Zen (Console) service, and only the team can check your account by email. If you're still blocked, please email help@anoma.ly. Say which free model you used, roughly when you sent the prompt, and the reset time you were shown. Please keep account and payment details out of GitHub.
If you'd like to follow it, #58408 reports the same problem of the limit not resetting after the time shown. Thanks for reporting this!
