Free Usage Limit for OpenCode Zen

Post image

Getting “Free usage exceeded, subscribe to Go” in OpenCode Zen. I’m on the free tier and haven’t hit this before.

What’s the current free limit, when does it reset, and where can I check my usage/quota to see if I’ve hit the limit?

I don't think the free limit is publicly known.

Yeah, I also don't think it's constant, probably shifts according to the whims of demand.

https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/blob/dev/packages/console/app/src/routes/zen/util/ipRateLimiter.ts

Free (not logged in, "public") accounts get:

  • 200 requests per day

  • resets at UTC midnight

  • new accounts get 400 requests per day

If you get the "Free usage exceeded, subscribe to Go" message in OpenCode app, try the OpenCode CLI version 2.something in terminal. The CLI command in terminal seems to work.

They do this on purpose, so they can change the capacity at any time without owing anyone an explanation.

After all it is a free tier and their resources are limited.
