OpenCode Go Free
Free models: daily limit, lineup and when Go pays off

Free models have a daily request limit, but as of 2026-11-09 OpenCode's pages give no single number: the Go page FAQ names none (it said 200 requests a day on 2026-10-15), and the docs state a number only for LongCat 2.5 Free, 100 requests per day. Besides the quota there are three more limits: every free model is offered for a limited time and the lineup changes; some free models may use data to improve the model; and a few are not available in some countries and regions.

No. As of 2026-11-09, official Go has three monthly plans: Go ($10/month), Go Plus ($40/month) and Go Teams ($20 per member per month). "Go Free" is mostly a search mashup of Go and the free models.

It is the daily request cap on the free models, not a fault and not an account problem. As of 2026-11-12 the official repository carries several quota-related messages, so identify yours first: ① "Free usage limit reached. Connect a provider or subscribe to OpenCode Go to keep going, or switch models." — the free models' quota for today is used up (the code path is FreeUsageLimitError) and the dialog shows when your free messages reset and links to the Go subscription page, https://opencode.ai/go. Fixes: wait for the reset, add your own provider with /connect, switch models, or subscribe to Go. ② "Free usage exceeded" — the compact label for the same free quota in the session view, and the “Free limit reached” dialog that follows gives the reset time and the subscribe entry. ③ "OpenCode Go … usage limit reached. Switch to a free model, or turn on Extra Usage on the Go page in OpenCode Console to keep going." — this one is a Go subscription limit (GoUsageLimitError), not the free quota, and Console names the window in its response; the fixes are to switch to a free model or turn on Extra Usage on the Go page. "Workspace usage limit reached" is a different line: that is a workspace budget cap, so wait for the budget to reset or ask an owner or admin to raise it. The usual routes are still the ones above: subscribe to Go ($10/month), Go Plus ($40/month) or Go Teams ($20 per member per month) and work within per-model monthly dollar limits; add credits on Console and pay as you go; or use /connect to add your own provider's API key. If you want another per-token route, see “When the daily limit runs out” above.

No. The free models cost nothing and have only a daily request limit. There is no $5 plan: Go starts at $10/month (Go Plus $40/month, Go Teams $20 per member per month), and its allowances are monthly dollar amounts per model, counted over 5-hour, weekly and monthly windows; the only $5 in the Go docs is that Go Teams limits are $5/month higher than Go on every model. Console prepaid credit is separate again: the top-up presets are $10, $50 or $100, or choose Other and enter an amount, with a 4.6% + $0.31 processing fee added on top, and the balance is spent on usage. After a Go limit you can still use the free models; as of 2026-11-12 the Go list also includes LongCat 2.5 Free, Beam Free and Iceman Contributor Free, with no monthly cap shown (limited time). Console budgets are a separate switch as well: free models do not count toward them, and neither does Go usage within the plan; Go Extra Usage paid from credit does count.

It depends on the model. Per the Console docs as of 2026-11-12: for Big Pickle, Flint 40B Free and MiMo-V2.6-Flash Free, data collected during the free period may be used to improve the model; Iceman Free retains that data and uses it to improve the model; Inkling 2 Small Free retains data and may use it for training; the providers of GLM-5.3-Flash Free and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash Free follow a zero-retention policy and do not train on your data; Beam Free retains data for 30 days and does not train on it. NVIDIA's free Nemotron endpoints are for trial use only, so don't submit personal or confidential data. Keep sensitive code away from free models that use data to improve the model.

OpenCode's billing docs (as of 2026-11-09) list card, Link, Alipay and WeChat Pay among the payment methods, added under Settings › Billing in Console, and Go subscriptions use the same methods; the docs do not say which countries or cards are accepted, so the checkout page decides. If you want another per-token route, use QCode: it accepts credit cards (Visa / Mastercard), Apple Pay, Google Pay, Alipay, WeChat Pay and crypto, and it is fully self-service. Billed per token; per-model rates are listed on /models. Set it up in OpenCode with the OpenCode page at docs.qcode.cc.
