Persistent "Free usage exceeded, subscribe to Go" error – limit never resets #58902
Closed as not planned
Description
Hello OpenCode team,
I'm writing about a persistent error in OpenCode that does not go away even after waiting well beyond the stated reset period.
Error message:
"Free usage exceeded, subscribe to Go"
(retrying in [XXXXX]s – attempt #1)
Details:
- OpenCode version: [1.19.4]
- Operating system: [e.g. Windows 10]
- Client: [ Desktop app]
- Model: [big pickle]
- Account email: [hamedrivi10@gmail.com]
- Go subscription: [No]
- Using a VPN or proxy: [Yes]
What I have already tried:
- Waiting several times longer than the reset period (more than 24 hours)
- Logging out and back in
- [Using a different account – the same error appeared again]
- [Restarting OpenCode and updating to the latest version]
It looks similar to these existing GitHub issues:
- anomalyco/opencode Desktop app free usage issue #32391 (countdown much longer than 5 hours)
- anomalyco/opencode error: Free usage exceeded, subscribe to Go #42013 (error persists after switching accounts)
- anomalyco/opencode Go subscription active but still "Free usage exceeded" — paid, no access #36265 (error persists even after subscribing to Go)
Could you please let me know:
- Whether my free quota is tied to my account or to my IP address/network, and when it will actually reset?
- Whether there is anything on my account that needs to be fixed so the limit resets normally?
- If I subscribe to Go, which model prefix should I use so that the free-tier cap no longer applies?
I'm happy to provide logs or any other information that would help.
Thank you for your time and for building OpenCode.
Best regards,
[hamedilka]

Hi @hamedrivi, thanks for the detailed report. Sorry about the free usage error that won't clear, even after waiting and switching accounts.
The free-tier limit is enforced on the OpenCode service side, and questions about your account, your quota and how Go would apply to it are not handled in GitHub issues. Please email help@anoma.ly with the details: the account(s) you used, roughly when the error started, and the retry 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, payment details and other account information out of this public issue and put them only in the email. You may also want to edit the issue to remove the email address you included.
Other reports of the same error, in case they help:
The bot will close this issue in 1 day, since the support team will handle it by email.

Hi @hamedrivi, I'm closing this issue because billing and account support is handled by email, not in GitHub issues. If the free usage limit is still a problem for you, please email help@anoma.ly with the details and the team will look into it there. Please keep account and payment information out of this public issue. Thanks for your patience, and for using OpenCode.

Same here. Not usable. Just "Hello" at a day gives thie error. I'm not willing to buy Go if such problem exists (I can't even test-try)...
