   Thanks for reporting this, and sorry about the trouble. Being told your free usage is used up before you've sent anything, after the usual reset time, is really frustrating.

   The free-model allowance, its reset time and the retry countdown are counted and enforced for your account by the OpenCode Zen (Console) service, not by the app on your machine. The app only shows the error the service sends back. Billing and account support isn't handled in GitHub issues, so please email help@anoma.ly with the details: roughly when it started, which models you tried and the exact error and countdown you see. If you've already emailed, the team will get to it, especially now that we've seen it here. Please keep email addresses, account details and any payment information out of this public issue and put them only in the email.

   One thing to try in the meantime: in #58284, a couple of people said the message went away after they turned off their VPN. If you're using a VPN or proxy, try without it.

   Similar reports from the last day or two, in case you want to follow them:

   • The free usage limit for the free OpenCode (Zen & Console) plan has not reset for two consecutive days in v1 and v2 #58830: free limit not resetting, blocked again right after the reset time
   • Free usage limit across all free models with increasing retry countdown #58842: all free models blocked, with a retry countdown that keeps growing
   • Free usage exceeded on all free models with a long retry countdown on macOS and Windows #58874: the same on macOS and Windows
   • Usage limit hit before any prompts were submitted. #58827: usage limit reached before sending any prompt
   • Free models report "Free usage limit reached" despite zero usage #58284: free limit reached with zero usage (VPN tip in the comments)

   The bot will close this issue in 1 day.

   Hi @zaidejjo, I'm closing this issue now, since billing and account support happens by email rather than on GitHub. The free-usage limit and when it resets are handled for each account by the OpenCode Zen (Console) service, so only the team can look into it.

   If you're still blocked, please email help@anoma.ly with the details. Keep account and payment information in the email and out of this issue. Thanks for your patience, and sorry about the trouble.
