Free usage limit resets at 07:00 but is immediately exhausted after ~5 seconds for 3 consecutive days #61222
Description
Summary
The free usage limit appears to be accounted incorrectly. Every day at around 07:00 the limit is supposed to reset, but after starting a task it reports that the daily limit is already exhausted within about 5 seconds. This has been happening for 3 consecutive days.
I am not trying to bypass the limits — I’m reporting what looks like a server-side quota/accounting bug.
Steps to reproduce
- Wait until the reported reset time (around 07:00).
- Open OpenCode and start a task using a free model.
- After about 5 seconds, the request fails with a message saying the daily limit is exhausted.
- The message says the limit will reset tomorrow at 07:00.
- Repeat the next day at 07:00 — the same behavior occurs again.
Expected behavior
After the daily reset at 07:00, free usage should be available again, and a normal task should not immediately report that the limit is exhausted.
Actual behavior
The limit is reported as exhausted almost immediately after the reset, even though no meaningful usage has occurred. This repeats every day.
Environment
- OS: Windows 11 Enterprise
- Timezone: UTC+7
- Network: no VPN
- Model/provider used: free model
Additional context
This has happened for 3 days in a row. The reset time is consistently shown as 07:00, but the quota does not actually become usable after that time. It looks like the server either does not reset the counter correctly or counts the request as already exceeding the limit.
If useful, I can provide logs/screenshots showing the exact error message and timestamps.

Thanks for the detailed report, @Medant80, and sorry about this. Waiting for the reset only to be cut off again seconds later is frustrating.
I think this is a duplicate of #59387, the main issue for free-tier problems. One of the symptoms it lists is exactly this: "You've used today's free messages. They reset at ..." and the reset never actually happens. Maintainers are collecting these reports there.

We haven't heard back, so I'm closing this as a duplicate of #59387, the main thread for free-tier problems. That includes the daily free limit running out right after the reset time.
Please follow #59387 for updates. If this still happens on the latest OpenCode v2 (download it from https://opencode.ai/v2/docs), please comment on #59387 with your version (
opencode --version), the free model you used, the exact error message with its timestamps, and a screenshot. If your problem turns out to be different, reply here and we can reopen this. Thanks for the report!
