Free Big Pickle usage dramatically reduced after upgrading to OpenCode 2 #61433
Description
Description
Hello
I've noticed a significant change in my Big Pickle free usage after upgrading from OpenCode 1 to 2
I used OpenCode for over three months before upgrading and only hit the free limit around four times. Since upgrading, I can exhaust the free usage during a single ~30-minute coding session.
For example, I recently had Big Pickle work on a simple Minecraft plugin involving a Custom Item. I gave the prompt and it didn't even finished researching and the Usage ran out. This is happening after 20th October
I've now had to wait approximately 1 day for the usage to reset and still doesn't know whether it will implement tomorrow. This makes longer coding tasks difficult because I have to constantly worry about the model running out of usage in the middle of an implementation.
I've attached the exported session so you can see exactly what happened.
Could you clarify whether OpenCode 2 changed the free usage allowance or how agent turns/tool calls are counted? If the allowance itself hasn't changed, could this be a regression or increased usage per task?
I really like Big Pickle and found it much better suited to my coding workflow than the other free models I've tried, so I'd really appreciate any clarification.
Thank you.

OpenCode version

Steps to reproduce
- Download Opencode 2 Desktop
- Use the Default "Big Pickle" Model
- Give a Basic Prompt for example in my case:
"A ItemStack which
Damages the same as netherite Axe
Hit Cooldown as sword
Smash like a mace
mines like a pickaxe
Can be Enchanted with Unbreaking Mending Sharpness Effiency Looting Fortune / Silk Touch Fire Aspect Sweeping Edge Breach / Density. make a plan to make it doest matter if you use Mace as Base Material and modify and add stuff for it or something else entirely. "
- Wait for few Minutes and after few minutes it will error out with "You've Used today's free messages"

Thanks for the detailed report and the exported session, @Kingscraft-Studios. Sorry about the trouble: running out of free messages partway through a task is frustrating.
I think this is a duplicate of #59387, the main issue for free-tier problems. The daily free allowance, how requests are counted and the "You've used today's free messages" message all come from the hosted free tier service, not the app, and maintainers are collecting these reports there.
Possible duplicates and related issues, ordered from most to least likely:
Please comment on #59387 with your version (2.2.5 Desktop), OS, model (Big Pickle), the reset time shown and a link to your exported session. Your comparison with v1 (about four limit hits in three months, versus one ~30-minute session now, since around October 20) is especially useful there.

Thanks for the report! Closing this as a duplicate of #59387, the main issue for free tier problems, so everything stays in one place.
Please check the steps there first: most of these reports come from OpenCode v1 (
0.x/1.x), and updating to the latest v2 fixes it for many people. If you're on the latest v2 and still hit it, comment on #59387 with your version, OS, the free model and the exact message. For account or billing questions, email help@anoma.ly.opencodejr commentedon Nov 4, 2026
Closing this as a duplicate of #59387, the main issue for free-tier problems. That includes free usage running out fast and the "You've used today's free messages" limit. Nobody replied in the last day to say how this one is different.
