Free Usage Limit Reset Keeps Moving Forward by One Day #59575
Description
Dear OpenCode Support Team,
I am writing to report a problem with the free usage limit in OpenCode.
My free usage limit was initially scheduled to reset on October 27, 2026, at 00:59. However, without successfully sending any additional requests, the reset date moved forward by a full day to October 28, 2026, at 00:59.
This is particularly concerning because the reset time appears to be pushed forward rather than the free usage allowance becoming available again.
I have found reports from other users describing the same behavior, including GitHub issue #58285:
#58285
Could you please:
Investigate why my account's free usage reset date was moved forward.
Check whether unsuccessful requests or attempts made while the limit is active are incorrectly extending the reset period.
Confirm when my free usage allowance will actually become available again.
Clarify whether this is a known issue and whether a fix is planned.
I would appreciate a review of my account's usage records and a clear explanation of what caused this issue.
Thank you for your assistance.
Kind regards

Thanks for the clear timeline, and sorry about this. Being locked out while the reset time keeps moving forward is really frustrating.
The free-message limit and its reset time come from the OpenCode Console (Zen) service, not from the app itself. Looking into an individual account's usage records isn't something we can do in GitHub issues. Please email help@anoma.ly with the details you gave here: the original and new reset times, roughly when you tried to send requests, and the model you were using. If you've already emailed, the team will get to it, especially now that we've seen it here. Please keep email addresses and account details out of this public issue and put them in the email instead.
Someone on #58285 also reported that a VPN set off the "free messages used" message, so if you use a VPN, it may be worth trying without it.

Closing this as a duplicate of #59387, the main issue for free tier problems.
Most of these reports come from OpenCode v1 (
0.x/1.x), which no longer supports free models. Updating to the latest v2 from https://opencode.ai/v2/docs fixes it for many people. 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. For account, billing or Go subscription problems, email help@anoma.ly.
