OpenCode Go hits monthly cap in 18 days, Command Code 4-day weekly cap

3 Key Points

  1. What happened

    From late October, the developer sent bounded implementation and research tasks through OpenCode's HTTP API to OpenCode Go (using DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) and added Command Code on Nov 4. Over 18 days through Nov 7, about 2,100 requests hit OpenCode Go's monthly cap on day 18 and Command Code's weekly cap on day 4.

  2. Why it matters

    The developer saw no quality problems in the delegated work, but the usage limits were tight under their high-intensity settings, suggesting that under ordinary use two sub-agent plans may be just about right.

Context & Analysis

The developer had been using Claude Code and Codex for planning and review, but began delegating bounded implementation and research tasks to sub-agents from late October. To cut costs, they moved that work to OpenCode Go, a $10/month plan that provides up to $100 worth of model usage per month, and later added Command Code's $10/month GOAT plan for overflow when Go hit its cap. The switch required only changing the model specification in the API call, since OpenCode serves both providers through the same server. Over about three weeks, they made roughly 2,100 requests. OpenCode Go reached its monthly cap on November 7 (day 18), and Command Code reached its weekly cap on the same day after just four days of use. The developer attributes the quick caps to high reasoning settings and a parallel simulation experiment, and notes that under normal use two plans might be just right. They also tried Qoder Lite but found it difficult to integrate through the API, and they plan to decide by the end of November whether to continue with it.

FAQ
How did the developer connect Command Code?
They registered a Command Code API key in OpenCode, then changed only the model specification when creating a conversation. The same HTTP API for sending requests, waiting, and retrieving results was used without adding another server.
Why did the developer not use Qoder as a sub-agent?
Qoder cannot be called from the API and must be launched via the CLI, which the developer found cumbersome. They also used up the trial's 300 Credits after a script overrode the model to one that consumes Credits.
Did switching to OpenCode Go cause any quality issues?
The developer says they felt no quality problems at all with the delegated implementation and research. However, the usage caps were strict and they reached them faster due to their own high-intensity usage patterns.
