Is everything busted?

I have opencode GO, I see these free models like step 5, longcat, cat jam free. I try one simple prompt and they say they are rate limited but I'm on the paid opencode go? I try to use zen with the free deepkseek flash 4.1 and all say they are rate limited it's like nothing that says it's free works for me? am I the only one?

When they had spacebunny free I used it 24/7 and it worked all the time no problem now these ones it's like nothing works?

The confusing part is that Go and Zen aren’t necessarily the same access tier. A subscription doesn’t automatically remove rate limits imposed on individual models or endpoints.

I see. I figured if i'm using go, it means it's good to go. like when they had space bunny free, on zen it would eventually say rate limit, but when I used it on go, I literally was using it all day for like 5 days zero problems it just worked like a champ while it was free on onpencode go.

Unfortunately it's all black box to us. We don't know how it works until we experience it. What the limits are, if they're hard limits or throttled, if it's shared across models ... all pretty unknown. Free is a nice bonus but I can't rely on it.

I got the same problem.
My GO subscription just renewed last night.
I wake up and go to use Space Bunny, Big Pickle, and nothing works. Says I'm rate limited. WTF.

Hermes saw this and fixed it by reinstalling opencode and than check the model names in it.

I'm using Step 5 through Go and it works most of the time just extremely slowly, occasionally I get a rate limited message but it goes away. Similar situation with LongCat
