   Thanks for the detailed report, and sorry the free models keep cutting you off.

   I think this is a duplicate of #59387, the main thread for free-tier problems. It covers the Free usage limit reached error, including when it comes back after only a few requests. The free-tier limits and reset times are decided by the hosted free-tier service, not by the CLI or TUI, so the maintainers are collecting all of these reports in that thread to look at them with account access.

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

   • Free tier issues: read this first, then post your report here #59387: main free-tier thread, which lists this exact error. Please add your report there with your version (2.2.5), OS, the models you tried, and that changing your IP only helped for a while.
   • [BUG] Free-tier quota incorrectly rejected on OpenCode v2.2.5 – AI.Error.QuotaExceeded (Daily recurring issue) #60861: the same AI.Error.QuotaExceeded on v2.2.5 and Windows 11, happening every day.
   • Free Models Remain Blocked After Daily Quota Reset #60902: free models stay blocked after the daily quota should have reset.
   • Free limit always exhausted even at the roll over window time #60850: the free limit is always used up, even at reset time.
   • Free usage limit persists on v2.2.1 after weeks of inactivity, even with VPN #60684: the free limit stays even after weeks of no use, including over a VPN.
   • [FEATURE]:Show exact free usage limit reset time #52894 / [FEATURE]: Document free-tier accounting for free models (idle time, pool scope, remaining allowance) #57540: feature requests to show the exact reset time and document how free-tier usage is counted (the resetAt and remaining-quota details you mentioned).

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

   Thanks for identifying the related issues.

   I understand that #59387 is the main tracking thread, and I'm happy to continue the discussion there.

   However, I want to highlight one specific observation that may help with the investigation:

   1. Initially, all free models returned AI.Error.QuotaExceeded.
   2. I switched my network, which changed my public IP address.
   3. Immediately after the IP change, both Beam Free and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash Free worked successfully.
   4. After only a few requests, the same quota error returned across free models.
   5. Creating a fresh session and using --standalone did not consistently resolve the issue.

   This suggests that network-level quota enforcement may be involved, potentially alongside account or workspace-level limits.

   Could the team investigate whether network-based quota classification or shared IP limits are incorrectly affecting my access?

   I will also add these findings to #59387. Thank you.

   Hello OpenCode Support Team,

   I am experiencing a persistent "Free usage limit reached" error across all OpenCode free models.

   Environment Details:

   • OS: Windows 11
   • CLI Version: OpenCode CLI v2.2.5
   • Account Type: OpenCode Console (Personal Account)

   Troubleshooting Steps Completed:

   • Tested multiple free models (including Big Pickle, DeepSeek, GLM, and Flint).
   • Tested fresh and standalone sessions.
   • Switched networks (observed temporary success, but the quota error returned).
   • Successfully re-authenticated with OpenCode Console.
   • Logged out and tested again.
   • Backed up and reset the local OpenCode cache.
   • Confirmed that the local workspace database table contains zero records.

   The error persists despite these steps.

   Could you please investigate my account, workspace, and network-level free-tier quota status to clarify when access will reset? Additionally, please review if this may be an incorrect quota restriction.

   Thank you,

   We haven't heard back, so I'm closing this as a duplicate of #59387, the main thread for free-tier problems. That's where maintainers are collecting the Free usage limit reached / AI.Error.QuotaExceeded reports. Free-tier limits are decided by the hosted service, not by the CLI or TUI, so someone with account access has to look at them.

   Please post your details in #59387: version 2.2.5, Windows 11, the free models you tried, and that changing your IP only helped for a few requests. If your problem turns out to be different, reply here and this can be reopened.
