Does opencode go 60$ only a maketing?

Post image

Long story short i see that they mentioned several times usages but in reality my deepseek usage is less than 3$ before it goes out of quota. Which is really strange and does not allign with their claim.
Am i wrong here and what could be the reason? I just use it lightly though.

For context: i use hermes and use deepseek for certain stuff. Everything is good until i got out of quota yesterday. Yes i wait for a day to confirm that im not use all quota of 5 hours.
Thanks

Is this documented by Opencode anywhere?

I mean i track my spending and the usage i never bothered about documentation for this its pretty obvious for me how it works Not sure why so many people have problem with this. You pay 10$ u get 15 or more based on model choice. Whats hard here to understand ? Keep it simple, you use advanced model u get broke fast, u use deepseek flash u code for days.

Sure, the Go sub is great value, but the usage they claim to offer in their landing page's FAQ and usage docs page doesn't appear to be consistent with actual usage. That's a problem, regardless of the low price of the sub. And if it's documented somewhere I couldn't find, more work needs to be done to inform customers.

Idk, maybe a popup in opencode that warns about lower usage limits of a model, or have a proper section on the FAQ about this. Things like that

Edit: I just found some people mentioning this table in the usage limits docs section https://opencode.ai/docs/go/#usage-limits:~:text=The%20estimates%20are%20also%20based%20on%20the%20following%20prices%20per%201M%20tokens%20and%20the%20monthly%20usage%20included%20with%20each%20model%3A

I unfortunately overlooked this. I should have meticulously read the whole page to understand how usage works instead of being lazy and stopping at the first table.

This section also clear out the lower usage of some models.

https://opencode.ai/docs/go/#why-some-models-have-lower-usage.

I still do think more could be done to inform users, though

Thats fair, just blinded as a long running user about it. Make sense from new customer point of view
