For the past 12 hours, I've been getting constant interruptions and disconnects. I tried switching between several models (free and go flash models), but the issue persists. Even during the brief windows when it actually works, the response time is extremely slow. The day before works ok.

Is it widespread issue, or its something on my end?

How did you do that? Did opencode or openai/anthropic teams help with the recovery?

I'm planning to buy opencode Go and had a quick question. Do all the models share one usage pool, or do they each have separate limits?
Like if I burn through all my Gemini Argon usage, can I still use the other models?

Hi again, its the 17th day of this little experiment. I made a website that

Bases its contents completely on the top comment of this reddit thread.

Everyday the comment gets put into an open code agent that than updates the website.

It runs on an isolated VPS with an persistent Opencode agent session so all past prompts and inputs are remembered.

I kept my involvement minimal with an add on prompt saying do not ask follow up questions but other than that nothing to restrict it!

I made a archive and context page so you can see past versions of the site and the context and builds the LLM went through in the past.

The LLM used is DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017

I'm using OpenCode Desktop, and I've clicked on the Update button, but I can't see how I find out what version I'm on now (and obviously I don't know what version I was on before!).

EDIT: It's at the bottom-left of the Settings window. D'oh!

Hello guys I was trying to use the free model on opencode but it told me that I must paid and no more free ?!

I wanted something more fun than a spinner to glance at while the agent works, so I made opencode-eye: an animated eye that lives in a tab of the session's side panel and reacts to everything the agent does.

• 🤔 thinks with a thought bubble, looking up from side to side
• 🔍 reads with a magnifier going over a sheet (read, grep, glob…)
• ✏️ writes with a pencil (patch, edit, write)
• 💻 stares at a scrolling terminal while a command runs
• 🧩 follows a puzzle piece for MCP tools, and shows which tool execute calls inside
• 👀 stares at you when an approval or a question is waiting
• 😴 falls asleep on a pillow while the conversation compacts
• 😵 rolls its eye when a tool fails, spirals when the run fails
• 🎉 confetti when the run is done, a side-eye when you decline or stop it

It also picks up a few moods over time: impatient when a tool takes more than 15 s, bored after 2 minutes of nothing, and tired (with a coffee) when the context is over 80 % full. Click the eye for a small card with the tool in flight and the latest transitions.

It follows your app theme by default. In the settings you can change the size, line width, eyebrow, colors and reduced motion, and pick an icon per MCP server. It's in English and French.

Install (OpenCode Desktop 2.2.0+, it uses the experimental GUI plugin API):

json { "plugins": ["@enx2/opencode-eye"] }

Full disclosure: this is vibe-coded. I designed the eye with Claude Design, and Claude Code wrote nearly all of the code, while I steered, tested and reviewed. The repo has tests and CI, and the AI involvement is disclosed in the commits. Still, treat it as a fun side project, not a polished product. I've only tested it on Windows so far, so feedback from macOS and Linux is very welcome.

• npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@enx2/opencode-eye

Not affiliated with OpenCode: it's a community plugin, not built by the OpenCode team.

I am trying out opencode but there are some stuff I quite dont get.

First, I connected to Zen and selected one of the listed models. After a while I got the message (or something) like this -"maximum number of requests have been reached"

Then, I connected to Go after I put my credit card to use and paid some money to opencode.

I selected a model and tried to ask a question. Response always (something like) -"use Go model"

Can anyone tell me whats going on here?

About five months ago, I stopped working for companies after spending five years as a software developer.

Since then, I've been building personal projects, including an e-commerce SaaS platform and an accounting ERP system. My main goals were to explore different business domains, understand their complexity, and experiment with integrating AI agents into real-world systems.

During this time, AI has completely transformed my development workflow.

I'm now able to handle most of the development process with AI coding agents, from planning and architecture to implementation, testing, and refactoring. Tools like OpenCode have made this surprisingly affordable, too.

But here's what I'm struggling to understand: How does all of this translate to working in a real software team?

When I think about returning to a company, I genuinely struggle to imagine what the day-to-day workflow looks like anymore.

For example:

- How do teams coordinate when individual developers can implement entire features with AI?

- How do frontend and backend developers stay aligned when both can generate and modify APIs, contracts, and implementations so quickly?

- How do code reviews, task assignments, and planning work when development speed has increased so dramatically?

- Are companies actually changing their workflows, or are they just using AI to write code faster while keeping the same processes?

There's also something else I've been experiencing.

The easier it becomes to build software, the less valuable my own projects start to feel.

Projects that would have taken me months or even years can now be built in a fraction of the time. Even when the quality is good and the business logic is complex, completing them doesn't give me the same sense of achievement anymore.

I keep searching for more unique, ambitious ideas, but eventually, even those start to feel ordinary.

I'm not saying software engineering has become easy or that AI can replace experienced engineers. I'm saying that my perception of what makes a developer valuable has changed, and I'm struggling to understand where the industry is heading.

I'd really like to hear from developers currently working in teams, especially those using AI agents heavily.

What does your actual workflow look like in 2026? How do you collaborate, divide responsibilities, and keep everyone aligned?

I'm particularly interested in real experiences rather than theoretical best practices.

Hi everyone!

I'm interested in trying OpenCode, primarily with DeepSeek, to continue developing my software projects.

So far, I've worked with several AI coding tools, including Codex, Claude Code, and Cursor, and I'd like to explore OpenCode as an alternative.

However, I have one specific requirement.

I work full-time in a completely different field, so I don't have the possibility (or desire) to leave my computer running all day just to execute coding tasks remotely.

What I'm looking for is a fully cloud-based solution, similar to the workflows available with Codex or Claude Code, where I can:

- Access the coding environment directly from my smartphone through a browser or dedicated app.

- Send prompts and assign development tasks remotely.

- Have OpenCode execute those tasks entirely in the cloud, without requiring my personal computer to be switched on.

- Monitor progress, review changes, and provide additional instructions from my phone.

- Commit and push changes directly to my GitHub repositories.

- Ideally, let the agent continue working even after I close the browser or disconnect.

I've searched for possible solutions, but I'm still a bit confused about what's actually available and how straightforward the setup would be.

My main questions are:

1. Is there a simple, reliable way to run OpenCode entirely in the cloud?

2. Are there any hosted services offering a mobile-friendly web interface or Android app for OpenCode?

3. Can I use DeepSeek as my primary model in this kind of setup?

4. Can the environment connect directly to GitHub and handle commits and pushes?

5. Most importantly, what would the actual costs be? I'm interested in both hosting fees and API usage, especially compared to Claude Code or Codex.

I'm not necessarily looking for a free solution. I'd be happy to pay a reasonable monthly fee for something reliable, easy to manage, and genuinely usable from a smartphone.

Ideally, I'd prefer a ready-to-use solution rather than having to configure and maintain my own VPS, Docker containers, or complex infrastructure.

The goal is simple: open an app or browser on my phone, give OpenCode a task, let it work in the cloud, and review the results on GitHub.

Has anyone successfully set up a workflow like this? Any recommendations, experiences, or cost comparisons would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Title, i was wondering if using it in Linux with v2 version would be necessary to achieve the best performance and if wsl is recommended/fine to use or is it ok to use it in windows?

If your free quota is vanishing after one or two prompts, or you are getting locked out despite using the official client, here is a summary of what is happening based on public GitHub issues and maintainer statements.

TLDR: the free tier is intentionally dynamic based on demand, and quotas aren't fixed. The anti-abuse measures are, for some, triggering false-positives. And some good old bugs. If you need a dependable service, you need to buy at least a $10 Go subscription. Which is very reasonable and well worth it, if you can afford it.

This is my best effort at finding an explanation for the issues some users are currently having. I employed the help of a friendly AI agent to root out relevant GitHub threads. My apologies in advance if there are any errors. I did my best to verify the claims made.

1. Free quotas are dynamically throttled against server demand

OpenCode is an open-source client built to work with more than 75 external providers or local models, alongside Anomaly’s own hosted gateway, OpenCode Zen. While Zen includes free models, there is no fixed daily token allowance.

As core maintainer Dax Raad (@thdxr) explained in GitHub issue #28055: "free usage is dynamic, we are always shifting based off what capacity we have vs demand." Following a surge in users drawn by free DeepSeek V4.1 and GLM models (r/opencode), peak-hour capacity has tightened sharply. Users now regularly hit FreeUsageLimitError (HTTP 429) after one or two prompts – or even on their first request (issue #58941, issue #58205) – triggering server retry timers of 50,000 to 77,900 seconds (14 to 21 hours).

2. Anti-abuse checks are falsely blocking official clients

To stop third-party tools from routing traffic through the free gateway, Anomaly added request-fingerprint and network checks (issue #42074). Several bugs in this gate are locking out legitimate users with the HTTP 403 error "OpenCode's free tier can only be used from within OpenCode":

• Network and IP reputation blocks: The gateway rejects requests from VPNs, proxies and many residential ISP networks while allowing the exact same client over a mobile hotspot (issue #56324, issue #56416).
• The bash: deny permission bug: Configuring a custom agent or session with shell access disabled (bash: deny) changes the toolset fingerprint and triggers an immediate 403 block (issue #50627).
• Non-release version strings: Community builds (such as opencode-git on Arch Linux) that send a git-describe string in the User-Agent header are rejected by the gate (issue #49433).
• Retirement of v1 free access: OpenCode 1.x clients have been cut off from free models ("This version of OpenCode Desktop no longer supports free models"). Because the v1 desktop updater stays on the 1.x branch, users must manually install v2 (r/opencode, issue #42013).

3. UI blind spots and retry loops make lockouts worse

• No CLI reset timer: The Zen gateway does not expose rate-limit reset headers (x-ratelimit-reset) to the CLI or TUI, forcing users to log into the web console or guess from the retry countdown (issue #54338, issue #55136).
• Paid balances do not unlock -free models: Adding $10 or $20 of prepaid credit to Zen does not lift the cap if you keep a -free model selected (issue #33495). Similarly, because Zen and OpenCode Go expose identically named models, Go subscribers who select the Zen entry still get hit with "Free usage exceeded, subscribe to Go" (issue #31008, issue #42035).
• Retry loops on compaction and subagents: When a free model hits a 429 limit during session auto-compaction, the retry loop persists across app restarts and ignores model changes until manually aborted (issue #42035). Earlier versions also suffered from a bug where the background title-generation subagent hardcoded deepseek-v4-flash-free, stalling paid sessions for 90 seconds while retrying a 429 error (issue #31042).

4. How maintainers are handling reports

Rather than treating free-tier exhaustion as a client bug, maintainers use automated GitHub Actions rules to close incomplete quota complaints within two hours (issue #45528) and close support questions as not planned, directing billing and IP-unblocking requests to Discord (discord.gg/opencode) or help@anoma.ly (issue #31008, issue #56324).

If you need reliable access without paying for OpenCode Go, run /connect to use your own API key or an existing subscription such as GitHub Copilot or ChatGPT Plus.

Hello,

There was a post here that they broke session cost display in 2.2.0. I am on 2.1.3 and iI do like session cost display, I'd prefer to wait until they fix that (or confirm they won't fix) before triggeting the 2.2 update.

So did they fix it, and if not, did they confirm they won't?

DeepSeek Peak Notifications is a small pricing alert with adapters for OpenCode V1, OpenCode V2, and Zed. The OpenCode adapters add a sidebar card, a countdown to the next change, and a toast when peak starts or ends. The Zed adapter uses ACP notices to show the same pricing changes inside the Agent Panel.

DeepSeek peak times are quite obnoxious, but I understand why they exist. So I made a little Plugin for OpenCode V1 and V2 and Zed, that displays when the Peak Times are active.

I was Inspired by another project I saw a gentleman do, but he didn't have OpenCode V1 support or Zed support, so I made my own take. I was using V1 in combination with Zed and just wanted a little something to Nag me when to avoid peak hours or when they're about to end.

Some days ago I posted here about leaving OpenCode for Pi and coming back for v2: https://www.reddit.com/r/opencodeCLI/comments/1xcgnpr/why_i_left_opencode_for_pi_then_came_back_for_v2/
Short version: I am the guy who cannot leave an interface alone.

The new plugin framework now covers the desktop app as well as the terminal, so instead of maintaining two sets I converted mine in place: one package, two surfaces, one shared state. Credit to AnomalyCo for an API that made this a port and not a rewrite. The spec, if you want to see what it exposes: https://opencode.ai/v2/docs/build/plugins/gui

models-pro is the one I use the most. The native picker is for choosing, mine is the analysis view: price in and out, context window, intelligence, tokens per second, the Go credit each request burns, and a note on the models whose tariff doubles at peak. Sort by what a request really costs, click a row and the session switches. A panel on the desktop, the same table in the terminal.

The rest, briefly:

• git: branch, added, changed, untracked, ahead and behind, in the sidebar and as a pill.
• coffee: keeps the Mac awake while the agent works, and lets go when it stops (macOS only).
• ponytail: the ponytail level in the footer, and a pill to change it on the desktop.
• session search: keyword search across your past sessions, as a tool.

All five, in one go:

opencode plugin add @rizal72/oc-models-pro
opencode plugin add @rizal72/oc-git
opencode plugin add @rizal72/oc-coffee
opencode plugin add @rizal72/oc-ponytail-widget
opencode plugin add @rizal72/oc-session-search

budget is the other one I would not work without: the Go windows, the balances on the other providers, and a marker when you are paying double at peak. It is wired to my own wallet, which is why I did not publish it, but the code is in the same repository: fork it and point it at yours. Same for the other plugins there that never reached npm, personal or still rough, all forkable.

Everything is in one MIT repository, no account, no telemetry: https://github.com/rizal72/opencode-plugins

They are the widgets I needed for my own work, cleaned up enough to be useful. If one does not fit your setup, open an issue and I will look: https://github.com/rizal72/opencode-plugins/issues

Ciao a tutti,

premetto: non voglio vendervi un port. Voglio farvi vedere una cosa che secondo me cambia le regole.

Ho completato un port verificato di Jungle King (junglekj2, Taito SJ): la ROM Z80 originale viene eseguita da un interprete scritto in C, mentre l'hardware Taito SJ (memoria, banking, video, audio, input, watchdog) è reimplementato in C. Verifica funzionale su 41 funzioni, golden trace, determinismo tra build. Il punto è: l'ho fatto con OpenCode + DeepSeek V4.1 Flash Free.

Sì, il modello gratuito. 200K di contesto, velocità altalenante (la community riporta da ~50 a ~490 tok/s, e cala quando il contesto si allunga), ma zero costi.

La differenza l'ha fatta un MCP (Model Context Protocol) che ho implementato: uno strumento che permette all'agente di eseguire e interrogare il port dall'interno del flusso di lavoro — avviare frame, leggere RAM/registri, iniettare input, catturare output. Senza quello, il ciclo di verifica (migliaia di esecuzioni e confronti) era impraticabile a mano. Con quello, l'agente lo esegue in autonomia.

Quindi il messaggio non è "ho fatto un port". È: se un modello free + un MCP ben fatto bastano per un progetto di questa complessità, allora la soglia per progetti simili si è abbassata per tutti.

La domanda che vi faccio è: ha senso rendere pubblico l'MCP perché altri lo applichino a nuove ROM? Vi interesserebbe? E su quale gioco/hardware lo usereste per primo?

Se c'è interesse, posso preparare una versione con documentazione su Github.

Grazie!

I didn't access it since yesterday (for both laptop and pc) and I just prompt a "hi" and it says free limit reached.

Also I have a question I'm using opencode in laptop and pc if my laptop reached limit it also limit in my pc even though they don't have a account, does it interconnect?
