Feedback on Free Message Limit and Daily Lockout #61870
Description
Hello,
I'm writing to report an issue with the free message limit and would appreciate the team's help in looking into it.
Every time I use a free model, I get the message "You've used today's free messages. They reset at...", which causes me considerable frustration.
From what I understand, the daily free-message limit and its reset time are counted and enforced by the OpenCode Console (Zen) service, not by the OpenCode app itself. The app only displays the message and reset time returned by that service. I'd therefore like the team to check how usage was counted on my account.
Here is the information I can provide:
Free model used: all free models
Time the error appears: at any time
Reset time shown: it keeps getting pushed back each time
Please let me know if you need any further information. Thank you for your help.

Thanks for the report, @1113171572, and sorry for the frustration. Hitting the limit on every free model while the reset time keeps moving is annoying.
I think this is a duplicate of #59387, the main issue for free-tier problems. It covers this exact message ("You've used today's free messages. They reset at ..."), including when the reset never seems to happen.
Possible duplicates and related issues, ordered from most to least likely:
First, check your version with
opencode --version(Desktop: Settings → About). Most of these reports come from v1 (0.x/1.x), which no longer supports free models. Updating to the latest v2 from https://opencode.ai/v2/docs has fixed this for many people. If you're on the latest v2 and it still happens, please comment on #59387 with your version, OS, the models you used and the full message (a screenshot is fine). Please don't post email addresses or account details there, since it's public.The bot will close this issue as a duplicate in 1 day unless you reply explaining how your problem is different.

We haven't heard back, so I'm closing this as a duplicate of #59387, the main issue for the "You've used today's free messages. They reset at ..." limit and reset times that never arrive.
If you haven't yet, check your version with
opencode --version(Desktop: Settings → About). Most of these reports come from v1 (0.x/1.x), and updating to the latest v2 from https://opencode.ai/v2/docs fixes it for many people. If you're on the latest v2 and it still happens, please comment on #59387 with your version, OS, the free models you used and the full message. Please keep account details out of it, since it's public. Thanks, @1113171572!
