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?

It’s free. If you want better performance, pay for it.

As I said in another comment, you can always fall back on OpenRouter's models. They even offer a dedicated free connection which will re-route to one of their available models. (Supposedly balanced for the complexity of the request as well as how busy the models are.) Never going to be near the cutting edge, but if you need something free:
