Free tier returns 429 on every request since Oct 24 (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash Free) – even a single "hello" in a fresh session #61152

Description
Since Oct 24, every request to DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (free model via OpenCode) is rejected with 429 and the message:
"You've used today's free messages. They reset at 03:00."
This happens even on the very first message after the supposed reset, and even for a single "merhaba"/"hello" in a new session. I have been using this model for months without this problem.
Evidence (Console > Inference log)
Last successful request: Oct 23, 02:06 (200, ~53k tokens, $0.00)
From Oct 24 onward, all requests are 429 Rejected (inference_failed), 40–220 ms, no tokens, no cost
Requests right after the 03:00 reset (Oct 25, 03:23–03:29) were also rejected
On Oct 27 (21:49–21:53) I got 426 Rejected; after updating the app these changed to 429
The reset time shown in the app keeps changing (Oct 28 → Oct 30 → Nov 2), and the counter seems to be exhausted by one tiny message
What I already tried
Updated OpenCode Desktop to the latest version (the 426 went away, the 429 stayed)
Tested on a different network (mobile data) – same result
I have an OpenCode (Zen) API key, but no credits loaded
Environment
OpenCode Desktop version: <2.2.5>
OS: <Windows 10>
Model: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (free) via OpenCode
Region: Turkey
Expected
Free messages should be available again after the daily reset, and a single short message should not trigger the limit.

Thanks for the detailed report and the Console log screenshots. Being blocked by a single "hello" for over a week is frustrating.
I think this is a duplicate of #59387, the main thread for free-tier problems. It covers
You've used today's free messages. They reset at ...when the reset never happens, and maintainers are collecting these reports there. The limit is enforced by the hosted OpenCode Console (Zen) service, not by the app, so a change in the app can't lift it. Please add your details to #59387: version 2.2.5 Desktop, Windows 10,deepseek-v4.1-flash-free, the 429s since Oct 24 and the reset times you were shown.
