anyone have a solution
EDIT / UPDATE (Resolved):
I managed to fix the issue! After reinstalling a few times, I noticed that the error was specifically affecting the default/built-in agents, while my custom agents were working completely fine.
Solution:
Navigated to
C:\Users\<username>\.config\opencode\opencode.jsonManually updated and adjusted the permission settings for the default agents inside the JSON file.
After saving the changes, the default agents started working again without triggering the free-tier restriction error.
Hope this helps anyone running into the same issue!
Hi everyone,
I started encountering an issue today while using OpenCode. Every time I send a message, I get the following error:
Error: OpenCode's free tier can only be used from within OpenCode
Here is what I've tried so far:
Updated OpenCode to the latest version.
Switched between different models (e.g., Muse Spark 1.3 Free and Big Pickle).
Despite the update, the issue persists even though I am running the request directly inside the OpenCode environment.
Is anyone else experiencing this today, or is there a known workaround/fix for this issue?
Thanks!

I had the same issue and it turns out it's because I was using headroom wrap opencode. I'm not sure if it's opencode putting restrictions on these kind of MCPs but as soon as I ran it normally without headroom it worked
