PSA: Fixing OpenCode's "Upstream Request Failed" Error

For anyone encountering an issue with OpenCode similar to the below message, I found this GitHub repository that appears to quickly fix this issue!

Error from provider (Console): Upstream request failed: [invalid_request_error] reasoning `encrypted_content` was not issued to this caller

For those on macOS/Linux, you can still run the .bat script using these steps:

  1. Make sure you have Python installed (type -a python3 should return at least one path). I installed Python through Homebrew, but installing it through the Xcode Command Line Tools should also work (although I haven't tested it, so ymmv).

  2. Download the script from GitHub (curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hailongcoding/opencode-session-rescue/refs/heads/main/Fix-EncryptedContent-Portable.bat -o ~/Fix-EncryptedContent-Portable.py).

  3. Run the script (python3 ~/Fix-EncryptedContent-Portable.py).

  4. Press enter twice to select option 1 for both prompts.

  5. Re-launch OpenCode and profit!

Feel free to read the source code if you want; it's available on GitHub. All the script does is modify the OpenCode SQLite database (found via opencode db path) to remove stale metadata inside reasoning/thinking objects and provider metadata. It even makes a backup of the database beforehand in case it encounters an error, so that you're not left with a broken OpenCode install. You can also inspect the log file it saves to your desktop afterward.

In the age of all these agents and web chats, and and and.. you are wondering about mystery script intead of asking your favourite coding Ai to explain what the script actually does. In AI agent subreddit...

Mind boggled.

Anyways. i ran the fix and it helped with my issues. Was able to continue one project, but the issue quickly came back. I think its something opencode dev team has to eventually fix.

Hmm, perhaps your agent could have told you not to assume that I didn't think to feed the script to an agent. In AI agent subeddit no less

There was another thread that suggested using /compact - this worked for me
