Free usage limit across all free models with increasing retry countdown #58842

Closed as not planned

Description

@neelipraveen

Describe the bug

I'm using OpenCode Desktop 1.19.4 on Windows 64-bit. All OpenCode free models are returning a usage-limit error, including MiMo-V2.6-Flash Free.

The error displayed is:

Free usage exceeded, subscribe to Go

The retry countdown initially showed 37,822 seconds but later increased to 79,475 seconds.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open OpenCode Desktop.
  2. Select MiMo-V2.6-Flash Free.
  3. Submit a prompt.
  4. Observe the free-usage-limit error.
  5. Switch to another free model and repeat.

The same restriction appears across multiple free models.

Expected behavior

Free models should become available when their usage limits reset. If an account or service restriction applies, the application should provide a clear explanation of the restriction and reset time.

Actual behavior

All tested free models are blocked, and the displayed retry countdown has increased despite my inactivity.

I had not used OpenCode for approximately three days before noticing this issue after updating the application.

Environment

  • Application: OpenCode Desktop
  • Version: 1.19.4
  • Operating system: Windows 64-bit
  • Affected provider: OpenCode free models / Zen
  • Example model: MiMo-V2.6-Flash Free

I have diagnostic logs showing the same free-usage error across multiple models.

Could you investigate whether this is an account-level restriction, a service-side issue, or a bug in the retry countdown?

    Thanks for the detailed report and the logs, and sorry about this. It's frustrating when every free model is blocked after days of not using it, and the countdown keeps going up.

    The free-usage limit, its reset time and the retry countdown are set for your account by the OpenCode Zen service, not by the Desktop app. The app only shows the error and the wait time the service sends back, so restarting the app or switching models won't change it. Billing and account support isn't handled in GitHub issues. Please email help@anoma.ly with the details: roughly when it started, the error message and the countdown values you saw. If you've already emailed, the team will get to it, especially now that we've seen it here. Please keep your email address and account details out of this public issue and put them only in the email.

    Several other people have reported the same symptoms recently, for example:

    If you'd like to try the same thing as in #58835, the v2 CLI (@opencode/cli) may work for you in the meantime.

    The bot will close this issue in 1 day.

    I'm experiencing the same issue on Windows with OpenCode Desktop and the Big Pickle model.

    My retry countdown reached zero previously, but then started again. The error says:

    Free usage exceeded, subscribe to Go
    retrying in 22947s - attempt #1

    The free model remains unavailable even after the countdown expires.

    Could you please clarify whether this is an intentional usage limit or a bug in the retry countdown/reset mechanism?

    Hi @neelipraveen, I'm closing this issue now because free-usage limits and account questions are handled by email, not on GitHub. If you're still blocked, please email help@anoma.ly with when it started, the error message and the countdown values you saw. Please put your account details only in the email, not here. Thanks for the detailed report, and sorry for the trouble.
