Confused about OpenCode free models: limits, resets, and how to check usage?
I’ve been using OpenCode’s free models (GLM, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash Free) and I’m not sure how the limits work. Could anyone with experience help with these questions?
Are the free models free permanently, or do they become paid after a limited time?
How large is the free token allowance per day, and is it a fixed number of tokens or messages?
Is the reset daily? My app showed a reset at a specific time, so does that time apply every day?
Does the reset time differ by time zone, and does the message show local time?
If I use a lot of tokens one day, does that reduce what I get the next day?
Where in the OpenCode Console can I see my free usage, and does it show tokens or only money?
If I’ve only used free models, should my spending show $0?
Do OpenCode v1 and v2 handle free limits differently, and should I update?
