   Thanks for the report, @alirezanazemi. I think this is a duplicate of #56324. Since 2026-10-17, many people on the official OpenCode app (CLI/TUI and Desktop, v2.0.32) have seen this same error for every free model, and that issue is where it's being investigated.

   Possible duplicates and closely related issues, ordered from most to least likely:

   • Free models fail inside official OpenCode TUI with "free tier can only be used from within OpenCode" (Windows, v2.0.32) #56324: every free model fails with this exact error in the official v2.0.32 TUI and Desktop app, starting 2026-10-17, even when signed out
   • Free tier models (Big Pickle, Beam Free, Nemotron) fail with "free tier can only be used from within OpenCode" on official CLI and desktop app #56585: the same failure on the official CLI and Desktop app with Big Pickle, Beam Free and Nemotron
   • Free-tier models intermittently fail with "OpenCode's free tier can only be used from within OpenCode" when using the official desktop app #56543: the same error appearing on and off in the official Desktop app on Windows
   • custom openai-compatible provider: free-tier models rejected with "free tier can only be used from within OpenCode" even in official OpenCode #56662: the same error when free models are reached through a custom openai-compatible provider
   • OpenCode's free tier can only be used from within OpenCode. Download it at https://opencode.ai and keep building. #55435: an earlier report of this error with a free model in the official Desktop app on Windows

   If your setup is different (for example a custom provider, a plugin, a subagent or an older 1.x version), please reply here with your opencode --version, your OS, which app you use (CLI/TUI or Desktop) and which model you picked. If you'd like updates, please follow #56324.

   The bot will close this issue as a duplicate in 1 day unless you reply explaining how your problem is different.

   Closing this as a duplicate of #56324. We haven't heard back, and this looks like the same "OpenCode's free tier can only be used from within OpenCode" error with free models that many people have been seeing since 2026-10-17. Please follow #56324 for updates. If your case turns out to be different, reply here with your opencode --version, OS, app (CLI/TUI or Desktop) and model, and we can reopen this. Thanks, @alirezanazemi!
