   Thanks for the report, @awdedwadaw-ai. Usage limits are set by the provider you're connected to, not by OpenCode itself, so we need a few more details to know where this comes from:

   1. Provider and model you're using, e.g. a free OpenCode model like opencode/...-free, an OpenCode Go or Zen model, or your own Anthropic, OpenAI or other key. /models in the TUI shows the current one.
   2. The exact error message you see, copied as text or as a screenshot.
   3. Whether you use the TUI, Desktop app or another client, and how you installed OpenCode.

   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 issues look related, ordered from most to least likely. Please check whether one of them already covers your problem:

   • Free tier issues: read this first, then post your report here #59387: the main thread for free tier limits (Free usage limit reached, You've used today's free messages...). If you're on a free model, please add your report there.
   • Free usage limit doesn't reset for 2+ days ("Free usage limit reached" on a free OpenCode model) #58814: free usage limit not resetting for days
   • Free models report "Free usage limit reached" despite zero usage #58284: Free usage limit reached with no usage recorded
   • Go quota: All three windows show <100% but CLI reports "quota exceeded" #59188: OpenCode Go reports quota exceeded although quota is left

   Seeing the same thing here (CLI 2.1.4, Zen free models), and it looks like a server-side regression rather than a local issue.

   • For months I used the Zen free models for hours at a time (dozens of benchmark runs per day, tens of requests per run) with no problem. This started around Oct 23.
   • Every free model I try now answers 429 provider.free-limit ("Free usage limit reached. Connect a provider or subscribe to OpenCode Go...") on the very first message. The usage had not happened that day.
   • A brand-new service account created today is rejected on its first requests too, so it does not seem tied to a particular account. I also tried a second user and the stored credential vs OPENCODE_API_KEY: same result.
   • On Oct 27 it worked normally from 01:10 to 07:10 CET, then went back to 429, alternating with 403 provider.auth for a while.
   • The CLI auto-updated 2.0.32 -> 2.1.4 on Oct 26 at 16:46 CET; the 403s began about an hour later. After the stated reset time (Oct 28, 00:59) it is still limited, as in Free messages limit not resetting #59525 / Free Usage Limit Reset Keeps Moving Forward by One Day #59575.

   Request IDs, in case someone can look them up:

   • 01a17e86-bf4a-768b-bd8b-4ca43bd8fc57 (mimo-v2.6-flash-free, service account, 429)
   • 01a17e7b-288a-763a-b124-00260ab58e2e (flint-40b-free, 429)
   • 01a17886-8f0a-7f9a-a963-a9f4cd9733e5 (big-pickle, 429)

   Is the free cap per IP/device, per account, or did the accounting change in 2.1.x? And what is the real daily limit?

   Closing this as a duplicate of #59387, the main issue for free tier problems.

   Please read it first. Most of these reports are fixed by updating to the latest OpenCode v2 (download it manually from https://opencode.ai/v2/docs if you're on Desktop v1). If you're on the latest v2 and it's still broken, comment on #59387 with the details it asks for so everything stays in one place.

    Closing this for now, since we haven't heard back. We needed to know which provider and model you're using, and the exact error message, to tell where these usage limits come from. Thanks for reporting it, @awdedwadaw-ai.

    If it still happens, reply here with those details and we can reopen this. If you're on a free OpenCode model, please post in #59387 instead. For OpenCode Go or Zen account limits, email help@anoma.ly.

    Thanks for the report, and sorry for the trouble!

    We're tracking all free-tier quota and limit problems in one place: the pinned issue #59387. Please read it first. Most of these reports are fixed by updating to the latest OpenCode v2 (Desktop v1 users can download it from https://opencode.ai/v2/docs).

    If you're on the latest v2 and still hitting this, please add your details there: OpenCode version, OS, model, and the exact error or reset time shown. Keeping everything in one thread helps us find the cause faster.

    Closing as a duplicate of #59387.
