[bug] Free usage exceeded. Add creddits (when using Zen free models)

Description

When using Kimi K2.5 or MiniMax2.5 (free opencode versions) i encountered this error: "Free usage exceeded. Add credits https://opencode.ai/zen"

Also i have $3 balance in Opencode Zen. So its not a balance issue, i guess.

This issue might be a duplicate of an existing issue. Please check:

OpenCode Zen MiniMax M2.1 Insufficient Balance #7499: Same symptom — "Insufficient Balance" / free usage exceeded error when using Zen free models (MiniMax) despite having balance. That issue was closed; if the problem has recurred or is different, please add details explaining how your situation differs.

Tested today with GLM5 and K2.5. The free opencode versions. Now they are working. So i will close this issue.

I'm experiencing what strikes me as a similar issue, in case related.

OpenCode CLI version: v1.2.10
Models: MiniMax M2.5 Free, Trinity Large Preview, Big Pickle
Error: Free usage exceeded, add credits https://opencode.ai/zen [retrying in 32m 50s attempt #1]

My credit balance is plenty ( > $20 ). Perhaps a regression or transient issue?

same back since Version 1.2.16 (1.2.16)

I even do not run one prompt, it directly shows the usage exceeded warning. worried...

same also

same back since Version 1.2.16 (1.2.16)
the same as V1.2.17 😒😒😒

I'm using V1.2.13 and don't get this error unless I use it a lot, which I also found out is an IP-based block not an account block. Are you using a VPN?

It seems that once you reach a certain usage limit, you can’t use it anymore. Has Zen started charging?

same symptoms with big pickle. I do not have credits, but couldn't find any reference to usage limits, so maybe I just didn't search enough?

EDIT: Yes, I didn't read well enough. looks like the free models are available for a limited time, to enable feedback collection. Maybe the window for free use is expired? In that case, the "free usage exceeded" error could be improved

Having this issue on V1.2.21 and even though I have credits, for some reason it asks me about the Free limit exceeded. You can temporarily turn it down, by using a VPN - hope the OpenCode resolves both issues to avoid exploitation and to respect those who are paying for their services.

Please Reopen this issue as it's still ongoing and affects a majority of users

pls reopen this issue

Reopen this issue please
