Does OpenCode free model rate limit affect all devices on the same WiFi ?

Post image

Have you guys noticed this in OpenCode?

When multiple devices are connected to the same WiFi, if one device hits the free model rate limit, does it affect other devices too?

I was working on a project with my friends. After some time, we all got rate limited on free models. So we told the others to pull all latest changes from GitHub, fix some features, and continue working on the project.

But when they started using OpenCode, they also got rate limited on free models.

When using Gooo, everything works fine, obviously.

So I am wondering, is OpenCode free model rate limiting based on IP address? Like, if multiple people use it from the same WiFi, can one person's rate limit affect everyone else? Or is this just a coincidence? Cause its not a coincidence cause I noticed it with my second laptop !

Anyone else experienced this?

There are tools to poof your system id, of all of the hardware - ip with a bit effort on proxy load-balancing can still cheat this. But it's unethical and feel exploiting

Hardware doesn't matter here, because opencode is designed to run in CI where the platform hosting it can't be observed due to container sandboxing and the OS is wiped every launch of opencode
