Free usage limit / 429 rate limit on home fiber (Kenya) but not on mobile data, suspected per-IP limiting #58805
Closed as not planned
Description
Description
Requests are rate limited almost immediately on my home fiber connection, but the same account and machine work normally on mobile data. This suggests the limit is applied per IP (or IP range) and my fiber IP is shared or flagged, so it is hit even though my own usage is low.

OpenCode version
2.1.4
Steps to reproduce
- Connect the computer to the home fiber
- Start OpenCode and send a few requests with [model name].
- Observe the rate limit / free usage error.
- Switch the same computer to mobile data (phone hotspot) and repeat: requests succeed.

Thanks for the detailed report, @imehappen, and sorry about the trouble. Being rate limited right away on your home fiber while the same account works on mobile data is frustrating, and your comparison is very useful.
The free-model limit is counted and enforced by the OpenCode Zen service, not by the OpenCode app. The app only shows the error the service sends back. The limit is applied per account and per network, so only the team can check how your fiber IP range is being treated. Billing, account and service-limit support isn't handled in GitHub issues, so please email help@anoma.ly with:
If you've already emailed them, the team will get to it, especially now that we've seen it here. Please keep your full IP address, email address and other account details out of this public issue and put them only in the email.

Hi @imehappen, I'm closing this issue now. The free-tier rate limit is enforced per account and network by the OpenCode Zen service, and support for that goes by email, not GitHub issues.
If your home fiber connection is still being rate limited, please email help@anoma.ly. Mention that it fails on your fiber line but works on mobile data, and give the rough time of the errors. If you've already written to them, the team will follow up there. Please keep your IP address and account details in that email, not here. Thanks for the clear report!
