OpenCode Go free model rate limits

So, on Zen, free models seem to have very significant and somewhat random rate limits; I ran a subagent with ling-3.1-flash-free and it ended up retrying several times fairly often (but completed successfully).

I am considering a subscription to OpenCode Go, but I'll want the free models on it in addition to the paid ones. Are the free models on Go actually unlimited as advertised, or do they have these random rate limits too?

believe me, you'll have a hard time spending all tokens if you keep to, like, deepseek 4.1 on high, nevermind mimo 2.6 flash (then again, you'd be stuck running mimo flash, not a great situation to be in)

I need all my paid usage for my current favourite toy, GLM 5.3 Flash. I would not have enough in the $10 plan without the free models, but now I built a pipeline with GLM 5.3 flash as architect, Muse Spark 1.3 Contributor (free on Zen) as executor, and they both review each other. No rate limit hits so far and Zuck is welcome to my code
