Thanks for the detailed report, and sorry about this. Having every free model stop working with "Free usage exceeded, subscribe to Go" is frustrating.
The free usage limit is applied to your account by the OpenCode service (Zen), not by the Desktop app. Restarting the app, creating new sessions or switching models won't change it. Billing and account support isn't handled in GitHub issues, so please email help@anoma.ly and describe what you're seeing, including roughly when it started and the wait time shown, if any. If you've already emailed, the team will get to it, especially now that we've seen it here. Please keep email addresses and other account details out of this public issue and put them in the email instead.
Other people have reported the same message recently, for example #58582, #58605 and #58735. #58684 is related: it reports that the reset time shown for free models isn't applied.
The bot will close this issue in 1 day.

can we actually get response instead of Ai generated shut off ? Its a bug/problem you cant just close it for no reason when the issued persist

I’m having the same issue. When using the "Simple Prom" feature, I get a prompt telling me to purchase "Go." Furthermore, once the timer runs out, I can’t do anything—it just keeps showing the same message, asking me to purchase "Go."
This is almost certainly a bug.

im sure that this was caused by the latest opencode update, as everyone has started getting this issue after updating.
not hard to stop relying on bot replies🫨

I’m experiencing the same issue; the counter doesn’t reset after an update.

Surprisingly, The Terminal version is working fine, at version 1.18.30, compared to Desktop 1.19.4

In the meantime until or if it gets fixed, use openchamber on top of opencode and select free models of opencode in openchamber

The same problem, I haven’t used it for a day. Yesterday it was 40,000 seconds.

Hi @MIZRAIM465, I'm closing this issue now because billing and account questions like the free usage limit are handled by email, not on GitHub. If you still can't use the free models, please email help@anoma.ly with what you're seeing, and keep account details in the email rather than here. Thanks for the clear report, and sorry for the trouble.
