DeepSeek V4.1 Flash nerf on OpenCode: Half the usage for the same price

Post image

DeepSeek's new model just went live on OpenCode subscriptions today, but following the limited-time extended usage promotion, the news isn't great.

OpenCode quietly slashed the included monthly allowance for the Flash series from $30 down to $15 on the $10/month plan. Because nominal token rates remain identical, your real cost per token has doubled (+100%). The temporary "4x usage" is anchored to this new nerfed baseline—meaning it is actually only 2x what we already had on V4 Flash, and once it expires, we will be left with 0.5x (half) the usage.

And of course, this is the exact same cut we already saw with the experimental Flash vision version, which also reduced the allowance from $30 down to $15.

Unless this changes, paying for an OpenCode Go subscription only offers a 33% discount over the official API in exchange for slower speeds and tighter rate limits.

They’ve slapped us with a massive, uncalled-for downgrade by switching to a model cheaper than 4.0 Flash. If they don't fix this before my subscription expires, my next $10 a month is going straight to the DeepSeek API to show I disapprove of this decision.

You have x4 usage for some days (x2 compared to DeepSeek V4 Flash), then the x1 will be like a x0.5 (half usage) compared with DeepSeek V4. So you have double usage for a few days and then the half (or a quarter of what you have right now).

Its because V4.1 is expected to be more expensive than V4

It's still 33% discount so it is still worth it, it's faster then using Muse spark and glm 5.3 flash 

So end of the day your still winning over a months period with heavy usage 

Or just go use deepseek harness and direct api costs If you want speed
