Free usage exceeded, subscribe to Go" with ~14.6h retry countdown after ~5 days of no usage (Windows 11 Desktop #59230
Description
Description
I get "Free usage exceeded, subscribe to Go" with a very long retry countdown
even though I had not used OpenCode for almost 5 days before this.
Message shown:
Free usage exceeded, subscribe to Go
retrying in 52689s - attempt #1
(52689s is about 14h38min.)
Steps to reproduce
- Open OpenCode Desktop on Windows 11.
- Select a free model (MiMo-V2.6-Flash Free).
- Send any prompt.
- The error above appears immediately.
What I already tried
- Other free models: Big Pickle and MiMo both fail with the same error,
so it does not seem tied to one model. - Switched network (phone hotspot instead of my usual connection): same result.
- No VPN involved.
- The same error appears in OpenCode Desktop.
Expected behavior
After ~5 days without usage, the free quota should be available, or the
message/countdown should reflect a realistic reset time (the docs mention a
shorter interval, and a similar report shows 17h: #32391).
Environment
- OpenCode version: [...]
- OS: Windows 11
- App: OpenCode Desktop
- Provider/model: opencode / MiMo-V2.6-Flash Free
- Go subscription: no
Related issues
#32391 (17h countdown instead of 5h), #42013 (same error, changing account
did not help)
Questions
- Is the free-tier limit per account, per IP, or shared globally?
- Why is the quota exhausted after 5 days without use?
- Can the real reset time be shown in the UI?

Hi @qlfgym1-stack, thanks for the detailed report, and sorry about this. Being told your free usage is used up after five days without using OpenCode, with a countdown of more than 14 hours, is frustrating.
The free-model allowance and when it resets are tracked by the OpenCode Zen service, not by the Desktop app. The app only shows the error and the retry time the service sends back. So this needs the team to check your account and quota, and we don't handle billing or account support in GitHub issues. Please email help@anoma.ly with the details: roughly when it started, which free models you tried, and the exact error message. If you've already emailed, the team will get to it, especially now that we've seen it here.
Please keep your email address, account details and any payment information out of this public issue and put them only in the email.
On your questions: how the limit is applied (per account, per IP, etc.) and why it hasn't reset are things the team can check for your case through support. Showing the real reset time in the UI is already requested in #52894.
Other people are reporting the same thing right now, for example:
The bot will close this issue in 1 day.

On v2.1.4, same thing happening here. CLI not desktop APP
After full 3 days without opening opencode, I can't use any free models on any of my accounts.
For all models:

As I understand, this is not new at all.
Free tier errors are still active for many users, for example:

Hi @qlfgym1-stack, I'm closing this issue because free-usage quota and account problems are handled by email, not in GitHub issues. If your free models still don't work or the reset time still looks wrong, please email help@anoma.ly with the details (when it started, which models you tried, and the exact error), and the team will look into it there. Please keep account and payment details in that email, not in this public issue. If you want to see the actual reset time in the app, you can follow #52894. Thanks for the clear report, and sorry for the trouble.
