Free models experiencing sudden degradation and frequent failures #45386

Closed as not planned

Description

Description

I've been using OpenCode for weeks without issues. Suddenly today, everything stopped working:

Free models return 504 timeouts constantly
Models get stuck thinking forever without producing any output
Files are being silently emptied to 0 bytes during edits
After multiple retries, models give up entirely
This is NOT normal degradation. I was working fine yesterday. Today every session fails. The free models appear to be either throttled or deliberately disabled.

I lost days of work because of the empty file write bug. Now I can't even use the tool at all.

This needs immediate attention. OpenCode is not usable right now.

Environment: OpenCode Desktop 1.17.8, macOS Apple Silicon M4, 16GB RAM.

    Thank you for updating the issue! It now has the information needed and looks good. We've removed the compliance flag. The team will take a look.

    Thanks for the report! OpenCode 2.0 is now out and development is focused on V2, so we're closing issues filed against OpenCode 1. Please upgrade (opencode upgrade --major, details: https://anoma.ly/notes/opencode-2-0), and if this is still relevant on 2.0, reopen this issue or open a new one with your 2.0 version.
