   Thanks for reporting this, @temperedgamer13-ux, and sorry. Hitting the free usage limit on every prompt before anything even runs is really frustrating.

   I think this is a duplicate of #59387, the main thread for free-tier problems. It covers this exact error and asks people to post their reports there so everything is in one place.

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

   • Free tier issues: read this first, then post your report here #59387: main thread for free usage limit errors ("Free usage limit reached", "You've used today's free messages…"), with steps to check first
   • Feedback on Free Message Limit and Daily Lockout #61870: same symptom, hitting the free limit on every message with any free model
   • V2: free models return FreeUsageLimitError before any successful usage #58186: FreeUsageLimitError on the very first request to free models
   • Free usage limit reached #58919: free usage limit reached on all free models without heavy use

   A few things to check first, from #59387:

   1. Run opencode --version. Free models no longer work on OpenCode v1 (0.x/1.x). If you're on v1, install the latest v2 from https://opencode.ai/v2/docs (if you installed v1 with npm, run npm uninstall -g opencode-ai first).
   2. If you're already on v2 and still get the limit on your first messages, please add a comment to Free tier issues: read this first, then post your report here #59387 with your version, OS, the model you picked and the exact error message (a screenshot helps).

   The free usage limits are enforced for each account by the OpenCode Console service, not by the app. If it looks like your account is being counted wrong, please email help@anoma.ly. Keep account details out of this public issue.

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

   Hi @temperedgamer13-ux, I'm closing this now as a duplicate of #59387, the main thread for free usage limit errors. We waited a day in case your problem turned out to be different, and there was no reply.

   If you still hit the limit on every prompt:

   1. Run opencode --version. Free models no longer work on v1 (0.x/1.x), so update to v2 from https://opencode.ai/v2/docs if you need to.
   2. If you're already on v2, please comment on Free tier issues: read this first, then post your report here #59387 with your version, OS, the model you picked and the exact error message.
   3. If your account's usage seems to be counted wrong, email help@anoma.ly and keep account details out of public issues.

   Thanks for the report, and sorry about the trouble.
