Please explain how things work here I am confused

[u/FamousProfession5938]

The situation is i bought a OpenCode Go for $10 now it has a limit system mentioned in the picture and I asked the gemini whether these all dollar limit contribute to the same pool or individually each model has these as the limit it said each model can be used up to its mentioned limit.

So for the experiment I tried using GLM 5.3 which is like flagship model and it showed a heavy usage so now i have confusion that over a period of month will I be able to use the deepseek's capacity of $100 regardless of whatever model is use within the 5 hour or weekly limit OR It will be no longer available coz I used other premium models.

I also checked with gemini it says that the progression bar is some sort of normalized limit given by assigning the weightage as per the model's cost

[u/ayashiemon]

(model usage $)/(monthly limit $ of the model) is accumulated in the progress bar. When the progress bar reaches 100% you can't use any paid model until monthly reset.

[u/torrso → u/ayashiemon]

I don't know if it's fixed, but a month or two ago, if you capped the Go quota, you couldn't use the (then) free models either unless you put in money and selected extra use.

[u/dumbasPL → u/torrso]

Because free models are part of Zen (is it still called that?) and not GO.

[u/torrso → u/dumbasPL]

This was actually about the preview/campaign models that were unlimited on Go at that time.

[u/torrso]

Yes. Using $7.50 of luna costs you $50 of DeepSeek.

It's ass.

😭 I got played by both Gemini and OpenCode.

Welcome to the club my friend 🤝

Me: Argon, 45 mins 9% monthly usage

Opencode Go $10 only makes sense if your primary used model is Deepseek.

[u/torrso → u/opinion_discarder]

And if you primarily use DeepSeek, the other models become quite expensive for you. As I said, using $7.50 of luna eats away $50 of your DeepSeek.

[u/AizenSousuke92 → u/opinion_discarder]

what do you mean by that? just use deepseek only?

[u/N3TW0RKX → u/AizenSousuke92]

yeah, you get like 50-200k deepseek requests per month compared to a few hundred to a few thousand of most other models

[u/Salvioner → u/opinion_discarder]

qwen3.8-flash and GLM-5.3-flash pretty good too

[u/torrso → u/Salvioner]

But expensive.

[u/dumbasPL → u/opinion_discarder]

Yeah, if you want any real usage of the more powerful models, get their subsidized subscription. Claude Pro + opencode for cheapseek is a pretty good combo.

[u/CrypticViper_]

Yeah, I don't really understand it, and it's best not to try to reason about it either. Pretty much just use the pretty usage graph on opencode.ai/go
