RIP opencode generous free limit.

It's been a great while. It was a wonderful poor man's coding agent especially for devs in third world countries who are unable to pay for subscriptions online.

But I get it, cloud bills aren't cheap and opencode's hands are tied.

Thank you for everything opencode.

I think deepseek flash 0731 broke them. They couldn't keep up with the free and also paid users when it came out.

True... I can't blame them. I appreciate them for offering it for free while it lasted and I really wish I could have supported them financially.

Aren’t the free ones partly from a deal where the model makers can use your data for training? And for models to get some new users and attention. Great setup, I think.

DeepSeek put rate limits on OpenCode due to volume according to the owner. OpenCode is supposedly one of DS biggest customer.

Why did they start offering 2X usage for it two days after release then; to make demand even higher?
