Free-tier daily message limit not resetting at the scheduled time #60173

Closed as duplicate

Description

I'm experiencing an issue with the OpenCode free-tier daily message quota.

My free usage limit was expected to reset at 3:00 AM Egypt time (UTC+3) on October 29, 2026. However, when I attempted to use OpenCode at approximately 10:00 AM, I immediately received the following error:

You've used today's free messages

OpenCode instructed me to wait until 3:00 AM on October 30, 2026, even though the expected reset time had already passed.

I had not used OpenCode between the expected reset time and my attempt to use the service.

This appears to be a possible quota reset or accounting issue. I would appreciate an investigation into whether the free-tier usage limit is being reset correctly.

Expected behavior

The daily free-message quota should become available again at the scheduled reset time.

Actual behavior

The quota remained exhausted approximately seven hours after the expected reset, and the service displayed the next day's reset time.

Additional information

  • OpenCode version: v2.2.1
  • Operating system: Windows
  • Local time zone: Egypt (UTC+3)
  • Error message: You've used today's free messages

Plugins

None

OpenCode version

v2.2.1

Steps to reproduce

  1. Use OpenCode v2.2.1 on Windows.
  2. Wait until the expected daily free-message quota reset time (3:00 AM Egypt time, UTC+3).
  3. Attempt to send a message at approximately 10:00 AM without having used the service since the expected reset.
  4. Observe the error: You've used today's free messages.
  5. Observe that the service instructs the user to wait until 3:00 AM the following day.

    Thanks for the clear report, @ziadmohamed707, and sorry about this. It's frustrating to wait for the reset and then find it has moved to the next day without you sending anything.

    I think this is a duplicate of #59387, the main thread for free-tier problems. It lists this exact symptom ("You've used today's free messages. They reset at ..." and the reset never happens), and maintainers are collecting these reports there. The usage limit and reset time come from the hosted free-tier service, so it needs to be looked at on that side rather than in the app.

    Possible duplicates and related issues, ordered from most to least likely:

    Please add your details to #59387: version v2.2.1, Windows 10, the model you were using, and the timeline you described here (reset expected at 3:00 AM UTC+3 on Oct 29, no usage until about 10:00 AM, then told to wait until 3:00 AM Oct 30).

    The bot will close this issue as a duplicate in 1 day unless you reply explaining how your problem is different.

    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.

    We haven't heard back, so I'm closing this as a duplicate of #59387, the main thread for free-tier problems where the reset time passes and the limit doesn't reset. Thanks again for the report, @ziadmohamed707.

    To follow progress, please subscribe to #59387 and add your details there: v2.2.1, Windows 10, the model you were using, and your timeline (reset expected at 3:00 AM UTC+3 on Oct 29, still blocked at about 10:00 AM). If your problem turns out to be different, reply here and we can reopen this.
