Free usage limit error despite zero Console usage #58536
Description
Description
Hi OpenCode Support,
My OpenCode Console shows 0 usage, but free-model requests fail with:
“Free usage limit reached. Subscribe to OpenCode Go to keep going.”
Details:
- Windows; OpenCode CLI v2.1.1
- Models tried: opencode/glm-5.3-flash-free and opencode/beam-free
- I connected a replacement API key; the error was unchanged.
- I set small_model to opencode/beam-free; the error persists.
- The local log shows quota rejections and no successful responses.
- Latest recorded error: 2026-10-23 20:43:29 UTC.
Could you check the free-usage limit and reset status for my account, workspace, or network, and investigate why it is
rejecting requests while the Console shows zero usage?
I have not included an API key here. Please let me know if you need other account details.
Thanks

Thanks for the report, and sorry about this. Getting "Free usage limit reached" while your Console shows zero usage is frustrating.
The free-model limit is counted and enforced by the OpenCode Console (Zen) service, not by the OpenCode app. The app only shows the error the service sends back. Checking or resetting the limit for your account needs the team, and billing and account support isn't handled in GitHub issues. Please email [email protected] with the details, such as when it started and the latest error at 2026-10-23 20:43:29 UTC. If you've already emailed, the team will get to it, especially now that we've seen it here.
Please keep your email address, API keys and other account details out of this public issue, and put them in the email instead.
One thing worth trying: in a similar report, users said the error went away once they turned off their VPN. If you're using a VPN or proxy, try a request without it.

The bot will close this issue in 1 day, since support will be handled by email.

I am currently encountering the same issue even when the VPN is not in use.

I have the same problem. I only used it this morning, and when I came back, I couldn't do anything. Something similar happened on my other computer, but I updated OpenCode and it was fixed; here, though, it doesn't show any pending updates.

Reinstalling the OpenCode application on Windows successfully resolved the issue.

jesus this is pathetic. they don't have a person pointing to issues regarding this buggy free/paid service, its just a dumb AI pointing at a bunch of nonsense.

Closing this now, since billing and account support is handled by email rather than in GitHub issues. If the free-usage limit is still blocking you, please email [email protected] with the details, such as when it started and the error times. If you've already written to them, they'll pick it up from there. Please keep API keys, email addresses and other account details out of this public issue. Thanks for the clear report, @s4h8a, and sorry for the trouble.
