Free Usage Limit Reached After a Single Prompt - Works 2 Min Only #58963
Description
Description
Since last week, I've been experiencing an issue where OpenCode displays the following error after submitting a single prompt, before the task is completed:
Error: Free usage limit reached. Subscribe to OpenCode Go to keep going.
This is frustrating because the task gets interrupted before OpenCode can finish processing my request. I'm not sure whether this is expected behavior or a bug in the free usage limit system.
Plugins
None. I am not using any plugins.
OpenCode version
Latest version
Steps to reproduce
- Launch OpenCode on Arch Linux.
- Start a session using the free usage tier.
- Submit a prompt to perform a task.
- OpenCode starts thinking and processing the request normally.
- After approximately 5 minutes of processing, the following error appears before the task is completed:
- Error: Free usage limit reached. Subscribe to OpenCode Go to keep going.
- The task remains incomplete, and I cannot continue without encountering the usage limit message.

Thanks for the report, and sorry about this. Getting cut off with "Free usage limit reached" partway through your first prompt is frustrating.
The OpenCode Zen (Console) service counts and enforces the free-model limit for each account and network. The OpenCode app only shows the error it gets back, so only the team can check how usage was counted for you. Billing and account support isn't handled in GitHub issues. Please email help@anoma.ly with:
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 any account details out of this public issue and put them in the email instead.
One thing that may help: in #58284 another user found that their VPN was causing this, and the error went away once they disconnected it. If you use a VPN or proxy, try without it.
Other people have reported the same thing recently:

Hi @hridoy09bg, I'm closing this issue now. Billing and account support is handled by email, not in GitHub issues, and the OpenCode Zen (Console) service enforces the free-model limit for each account and network.
If you still hit the limit partway through a prompt, please email help@anoma.ly with when it happened (and your timezone), the model you used and the exact message you saw. Please put any account details in the email, not in this issue. If you use a VPN or proxy, try without it too, since that fixed it for another user in #58284.
Thanks for the report, and sorry for the trouble.
