Restore the DeepSeek V4 Flash quota on OpenCode Go to its pre-August level
(31,650 requests/5h, $60 monthly cap), or at least a meaningful increase over
the current 7,600 requests/5h / $30 cap.

Why is this important?

DeepSeek V4 Flash was the workhorse of the Go subscription. At the previous
quota it was effectively free for real workloads: I used it as my primary
coding model for a full month (late July to early August 2026), running long
agentic sessions daily, and never came close to exhausting the 5-hour, weekly,
or monthly limits. The experience was excellent, and it was the main reason I
subscribed to Go.

The current quota (7,600 req/5h, $30 cap) is a ~4.2x reduction, and combined
with the new peak/off-peak pricing it makes DeepSeek V4 Flash no longer
viable as a primary model for heavy agentic use. The docs state "limits may
change as we learn from early usage and feedback" — this is feedback from a
paying user who used the previous limits heavily and found them well-calibrated.

    Thanks for the pointer. I reviewed #28846 and its outcome before opening this.

    That issue asked to raise Go usage limits after DeepSeek's price reduction, and the outcome was positive: Go eventually applied the discounted price (confirmed working in late July). This request is related but different in direction. It's about the quota being cut in August, not about adjusting limits for a price change:

    • DeepSeek V4 Flash: 31,650 → 7,600 req/5h (~4.2x cut)
    • Monthly cap: $60 → $30

    The #28846 outcome shows the team responds to well-documented requests backed by real usage. This FR extends that to the quota side, which is the other half of the value equation. Happy to provide more usage data if useful.
