Limit Exceeded error #47318
Description
Description
I’m using the free-tier models provided through OpenCode Zen, such as Muse Spark 1.2 and Muse Spark 1.3. These models are listed as completely free, but running a prompt produces the following message:
Free usage exceeded, subscribe to Go [retrying in 8h 13m attempt #1]
This issue occurs even though I am using free models and have not subscribed to the Go plan.
Environment
OpenCode version: 1.18.28
Plan: Free tier
Interfaces affected:
Terminal
Desktop
Models affected:
Muse Spark 1.2
Muse Spark 1.3
The same error occurs in both the terminal and desktop applications.
Expected behavior
Free models should run normally for users on the free tier, or the application should display an accurate explanation if usage limits have been reached.
Actual behavior
The request fails with a message prompting me to subscribe to Go and indicates that the system will retry after several hours.
Could you please verify whether free-model usage limits are being applied incorrectly or whether there is an issue with the usage-limit status?

Thank you for updating the issue with all the details! The information you've provided — including your OpenCode version, plan, affected models, and the expected vs. actual behavior — is exactly what's needed. We'll look into why the free-tier usage limit is being applied to free models.

Free usage is not unlimited as far as I know even when the model is completely free. There is no published information about the limits. They are probably not static limits but change periodically.

I am also facing issue, but in my case it does not show any cooldown time. Its been unusable for sometime now.

I'm experiencing the same issue today (September 20, 2026).
All of the free Zen (or Go) models I've tried return the same error, including big-pickle:
OpenCode also reports:
This has been happening for about two days. Switching between the available free models does not seem to help; they all appear to hit the same free usage limit.
My OpenCode (1.18.31) installation was working normally before this started.
Thanks!

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.— from 𝕺𝖕𝖊𝖓𝕮𝖔𝖉𝖊
