Free usage exceeded on all free models — OpenCode Desktop 1.19.4 #59140
Description
Title: Free usage exceeded on all free models — OpenCode Desktop 1.19.4
Description:
I use OpenCode Desktop 1.19.4 on Windows.
All free models I have tested show this error:
“Free usage exceeded, subscribe to Go.”
The countdown expires, but access is not restored. The timer starts again, even when I wait for it to reach zero.
I also used Spark successfully until recently, but it has disappeared from my model list.
I want to continue using free models without subscribing to a paid plan. Please investigate this issue.
Thank you.

Hi @cenovideo-debug, thanks for the report, and sorry about this. It's frustrating to wait for the countdown to reach zero and then see it start over, and to find Spark missing from your list.
The free-model allowance, when it resets and the retry countdown are all decided for your account by the OpenCode Zen service, not by the app on your computer. 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 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 and payment details out of this public issue and put them in the email instead.
Many people have reported the same thing over the last couple of days, for example:

Subject: Free tier broken — timer resets at zero, Spark removed, indiscriminate bans on residential IPs / VPNs / VPS — OpenCode Desktop 1.19.4 (multiplatform)
I'm writing because the stock provider is unusable. Not "limited" — unusable.
What happens:
This isn't just me. Everyone I recommended this to — friends, colleagues, clients — has the exact same problem. Honest people in different cities, different countries, different networks. None of them can even try the trial. Those who tried paid tiers report the same limits and blocks.
Bans are indiscriminate: residential IP ranges, entire subnets, Cloudflare ranges, VPNs, private VPS. Clean machines, fresh installs — banned instantly. No abuse, no scraping, just using the product as advertised.
I look like a fool to the people I onboarded. I told them "this works, it's local-first, it respects users." Now they're all blocked and I have no answer.
This isn't a bug. It's either catastrophic incompetence or deliberate hostility toward free users. The timer theater (countdown to zero → restart) reads like mockery. Removing Spark without notice reads like bait-and-switch.
I want to use the free models as advertised. No subscription. No workarounds. Just the product working the way you said it would.
Fix it. Or at least acknowledge it's broken.

Hi @cenovideo-debug, I'm closing this issue because billing and account support is handled by email, not here on GitHub. If free models still show "Free usage exceeded" or Spark is still missing, please email help@anoma.ly with the details. Please keep account and payment details out of this public thread. Thanks for your patience, and sorry for the trouble.
