   Description

   I am using the official OpenCode Desktop application downloaded directly
   from the official OpenCode website.

   OpenCode was working normally with its default/free models, but suddenly
   the models stopped working and started returning the following error:

   Error from provider (Console): OpenCode's free tier can only be used from within OpenCode

   I am not using OpenCode through any third-party application, proxy,
   API wrapper, reverse proxy, or external client. I am using the official
   OpenCode Desktop application directly.

   System Information

   Operating System: Windows 10
   Windows Version: 10.0.19045.6466
   OpenCode Desktop Version: 2.0.18
   Client: Official OpenCode Desktop App
   Installation Source: Official OpenCode website
   Models: OpenCode default/free models

   Steps to Reproduce

   1. Launch the official OpenCode Desktop application.
   2. Open an existing project/session.
   3. Select one of the default/free OpenCode models.
   4. Send a normal prompt to the model.
   5. The request fails with:

   Error from provider (Console): OpenCode's free tier can only be used from within OpenCode

   Expected Behavior

   The default/free models should work normally because the request is being
   made directly from the official OpenCode Desktop application.

   Actual Behavior

   The request is rejected with:

   Error from provider (Console): OpenCode's free tier can only be used from within OpenCode

   Additional Information

   The problem appeared suddenly. OpenCode and its default models were
   working normally before this issue started.

   I am not attempting to access the OpenCode free tier from an external
   application or third-party client.

   I had the same error and ran this which fixed it:

   V2: opencode auth login opencode
   V1: opencode console login

   Probably need a free opencode account https://opencode.ai/zen
