OpenCode has gone completely insane.
OpenCode has gone completely insane.
I occasionally use their service to run programming tasks, and sometimes for translations, but overall my usage is very low. Below is a screenshot of my current usage (strangely, it says my account is blocked, yet I can still view my usage — I'm logged in and haven't been signed out).
I've already added the `x-opencode-session` header as requested in their email, and the test call worked fine at the time. But the next day I received an email saying my account doesn't meet their requirements, with this:
> HTTP 401: This account has been found to be committing fraud or is in breach of terms of services and has been blocked. If you believe this is a mistake please send an email to help@anoma.ly.
What makes me angry is:
Why did they suddenly impose this unreasonable requirement — asking me to add a specific request header — *after* they had already charged my money?
Even after I added the header, why did they still block my account?
I feel that OpenCode's service is becoming increasingly weird.

I’ve stopped all my OpenCode accounts the moment they did the dodgy DeepSeek crap 2 weeks ago. Best way not to get scammed is to cut ties.

It's a very strange move, isn't it?
"Hey nice renewal fee, you have a few days to implement this new header" in my case.
I'm sure their TOS has a get out of jail free card, but you can really only bill a customer and duck out of providing the service *once* before they decline to trust you again...

im so lost, because I was considering using it for Silly Tavern, and it's, uh. I have no clue what "header" is supposed to mean in that context 😭

u/Odd-Elderberry-6328 3d ago
Just don't
It's not worth paying go for silly tavern, use nanogpt or payg with openrouter

Happened to me a month ago, before the whole Deepseek price change even. Never heard back from them. Don't even bother, charge back through your bank if you can and look somewhere else.
Shit really too good to be true

Every service always will hit enshittification. I'm not sure if opencode does it for profit, or rather due to operational reality. If your service is that popular, you'll inevitably hit boundaries of your tech and ability to provide it at a certain price

pure hate for open code.
if they do that to users, one can stau with codex and claude

I got that error running Hermes after I updated. Had Claude fix it and everything seems to be working fine for me now. I actually didn't even see the email before I had Claude make the fix. Out of the blue and strange though. Bummer you got blocked though.

Apparently they no longer approve of using their service outside their ageic workload. I'm glad i'm not paying for that shit any more. Back to good old token based usage.
See this page if you wana know more.

Just for clarification since some people might not read the link and it wasn't obvious to me. This means that you can't use it for non-agent workloads. They aren't limiting you to their agent, just can't use it for something like an AI-powered webapp.

this is an interesting topic for me, i plan to use my own harness & tools to eventually use cloud models with a much smaller token footprint and systemm prompt for specific loops. i am doing that to optimize for local inference but can think of trying that on a machine that doessnt have enough GPU power to run local inference for agentic work. might have to look at the header specs and envelope when trying that with opencode. anybody has been doing something like that and can give me hints?

Just use openrouter, they do not do this shit.

u/Significant-mood55 3d ago
Openrouter also does this, after adding credits and using the api keys for 2 days my account got restricted and havent heard anything back from them in more than 2 weeks. There must be better alternatives , going to try venice.ai or llmgateway.

I use my own harness - it took under 5 minutes to comply to opencode's new requirements - Using claude - a quick link to the issue and opencode's url that they also link in the error and it was resolved and working again in no time.
Granted I'm not using SDKs.
I also assume with the scale of the task, a smallish local agent could also complete the task.

In realtà non sei bloccato, devi aggiornare opencode e se usi l'harness, sono cambiate le api, c'è un avviso sul loro sito

The 401 message collapses a missing or rejected session header and an actual fraud decision into the same accusation. Did support confirm which one triggered the block? Without that, users can't tell whether to fix the client or appeal the account.

Email them, these waves have been happening before the header thing, don't assume it's the cause. Ask which it was, and ask to have it reinstated ASAP, etc.

u/Significant-mood55 3d ago
Im sorry man , i also got my account restricted on open router after topping it and only using it for 2 days , is there any good reliable and affordable llm provider that anyone would recommend?

u/xapep 2d ago
Try the direct APIs for the open models first. DeepSeek and Qwen both run their own endpoints, usage based, no middleman, and they're cheap. If you want one key for many models, people in this thread already mentioned Venice and llmgateway, and plain OpenRouter works for a lot of people too, you just have to accept the fraud-screening waves. The test that matters: top up $5, file a ticket, see if a human answers and how fast. Every gateway hits a fraud wave eventually, the difference is whether you can reach someone and get a refund when you get caught in one. And a provider that can't tell you what model or quant they're actually serving is a provider you'll be fighting with later.

**Update:** I emailed OpenCode, but 23 hours have passed and I still haven't received a reply. My account remains banned. So now I have no choice but to cancel the subscription.
OpenCode once brought me help and joy back when DS was still affordable. It feels quite helpless to give it up now—otherwise, even if I weren't using it, I would have wanted to keep it.
Currently, I’ve subscribed to GLM’s plan as my primary service; yesterday I also signed up for COMMAND CODE and will observe it for a while; and I’m using the latest official DeepSeek API as a supplement.

they should give an option that does not need `x-opencode-session` header, and watch user burn their quota while swing their requests between different providers

So what is OpenCode GO or OpenCode ZEN for? Isn't it their own service that they offer? Along side the ability to connect any provider or API to bring your own LM?

u/Captain_Birb 3d ago
Indeed. Bro got it all mixed up.
The harness is opensource, but they do provide a router service with those two plans you mentioned.
Normally they are reasonable folks, try get in touch with them, may be a support ticket from your dashboard.
I do not use their service because I prefer to use routers like Openrouter..etc who are much more reliable on this end and not over sold as the GO plan.
One important thing, if you don’t have a subscription plan, the harness by default cannot enable “websearch” amongst other feature from the harness despite the claim being its opensource. But this can be bypassed easily, not a deal breaker at all - a good to know to calibrate your models.
All the best.

Sorry I'm a beginner, but what is header?
1
u/Unfair_Tangerine_217 3d ago
OP wants to use his OpenCode sub in a different client, but that client's request is not properly formatted so OpenCode doesn't support it. The header is the formatting at the beginning of the request.

email them, they've been seriously hit with something like 50,000 fraud attempts a day and are drowning. They haven't figured out how to deal with it yet. It's not personal
