   Thanks for reporting this, @ligueproleo, and sorry free models aren't working for you. OpenCode does support free models, so something specific is going wrong, and we need a few details to work out what:

   • Version: the output of opencode --version, or the Desktop app version if you use the desktop app
   • Operating system and how you installed OpenCode (installer, npm, Homebrew, etc.)
   • Which free model you picked
   • What happens: the exact error message you see, ideally with a screenshot

   You can reply here with the details or edit the issue. If you edit it, please also leave a comment saying you've updated it so we know you're done.

   These existing issues might already cover your problem (ordered by likelihood):

   • This version of OpenCode Desktop no longer supports free models. #59378: OpenCode Desktop 1.19.4 (v1) shows "This version of OpenCode Desktop no longer supports free models". In that case, updating to the latest version from https://opencode.ai/download is the way to keep using them.
   • Free usage exceeded on ALL free models, limit not resetting for 3 days #59324: "Free usage exceeded, subscribe to Go" on every free model
   • opencode is not working The message "Free data allowance exhausted; subscribe to Go" keeps appearing, even though Opencode hasn't been used for several days. #59282: "Free usage exceeded" message still showing on v2 even after not using OpenCode for days
   • free-tier: Free usage limit reached after minimal normal use on 2.1.4 desktop #59252: free usage limit reached after minimal use on 2.1.4 Desktop
   • [BUG] Free models fail when shell or read permissions are denied #51241: free models fail when shell or read permissions are denied

   We're tracking free tier problems in #59387, so I'm closing this as a duplicate. Please check the steps there first, and if they don't help, add your details as a comment on that issue.
