Description
I've been facing this for days, Whenever I use OpenCode and send few messages literally once or twice it starts saying that I've used up all my limit even though its my first message of the day or just few message, It keeps happening to me which is frustrating. Its same on a new Session I've tried everything.

Thanks for reporting this, @evsphereofficial, and sorry about the trouble. Hitting "Free usage limit reached" after only one or two messages, even on your first message of the day, is really frustrating.
The free-model allowance and its reset are counted and enforced by the OpenCode Zen (Console) service for your account, not by the OpenCode app on your machine. The app only shows the error the service sends back, so only the team can check how your usage was counted.
Billing and account support isn't handled in GitHub issues. Please email help@anoma.ly with the details: roughly when it happened, which model you used and the exact error text. 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.

Ive asked them via email and theyve said limits have been greatly reduced recently. Merely 1hr free usage (dep. on how 'heavy' ur prompts are) now. Guess userbase has grown enough and recent news about 'panicking investors'/changes in AI field were right too. Was good fun, while it lasted, but you can still pay-to-play tho...

I had the exact same issue after updating to v1.9.14 — the app got stuck in an endless
429 FreeUsageLimitErrorcountdown loop.Here’s how I fixed it.
It turned out that the Desktop app seemed to be stuck with a corrupted or outdated session state in its local storage/cache. Also, the built-in updater incorrectly reported that v1.9.14 was already the latest version, while downloading a fresh installer and running it installed v2.1.4.
Steps to fix on Windows
1. Download and extract the standalone OpenCode CLI binary.
2. Re-authenticate using GitHub CLI:
.\opencode.exe auth loginSelect GitHub deployment → Device Flow.
3. Verify that the CLI works with a free model:
4. Completely uninstall OpenCode Desktop.
5. Clear the local application data and cache folders.
Run the following in PowerShell:
6. Reinstall OpenCode Desktop using a freshly downloaded installer.
In my case, this installed v2.1.4 and bypassed the broken updater state from v1.9.14.
After following these steps, everything worked smoothly again, with no more quota errors.
Hope this helps anyone else running into the same issue!

Hi @evsphereofficial, I'm closing this issue now because billing and account support is handled by email, not in GitHub issues. If the free usage limit is still blocking you, please email help@anoma.ly about when it happens and the exact error, if you haven't already. Please put any account details only in that email, not here. Thanks for your patience, and sorry again for the trouble.
