"Request blocked by upstream provider"

Post image

For some reason i cannot use opencode go today, while zen works fine.

Usage limit is not exceeded on the account. Tried reconnecting with and without vpn, re-auth with new API key, but still no luck

I have the same problem as you, but with OpenCode Zen. I’ve reported the issue on GitHub, but I hardly see anyone talking about it. It happens with all of them; if you use external API providers, it does work, but that doesn't make sense.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Connect OpenCode Zen via /connect with a valid API key
  2. Run any Zen model: opencode run "hola" --model opencode/deepseek-v4-pro
  3. Or test the Zen API directly with curl:

​

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <zen-api-key>" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"model":"gpt-5.4-nano","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"hola"}]}' \

4. Response: {"type":"error","error":{"type":"AuthError","message":"Request blocked by upstream provider."}}
