Free message limit not resetting after single test prompt ("hello") #59530
Description
Description
The free messages limit does not reset or allow any usage. Even after waiting a full day, sending a single test message ("hello") immediately triggers a "Free messages limit" error across all available free models.
To Reproduce
- Open OpenCode and select any free model.
- Send a basic test message like "hello".
- Receive the "Free messages limit" error.
- Wait 24+ hours, return, try sending "hello" again, and encounter the same limit error immediately without starting any project work.
Expected behavior
The free message quota should reset after the cooldown period, or allow initial test prompts instead of locking out immediately.

Thanks for the report! I think this is a duplicate of #59387, the main thread for free tier problems.
You're on v1.19.4, which is OpenCode v1. v1 no longer supports free models, and updating to v2 (latest 2.1.4) has fixed this for many people. You can download v2 from https://opencode.ai/v2/docs. On Windows, use the v2 Desktop app,
npm install -g @opencode/cli(runnpm uninstall -g opencode-aifirst if you installed v1 with npm) or a standalone binary. Note that the v1 Desktop updater keeps you on 1.x.Possible duplicates and related issues, ordered by likelihood:

Most of these reports come from OpenCode v1 (

The v1 Desktop updater keeps you on1.x, so download v2 manually.If you still have the problem on the latest v2, please comment on #59387 with the details listed there.
