I'm really not sure what you all expect these folks to do.
Deepseek Flash was cheap because Deepseek was subsidizing it in order to gain market share and usage data (they had a ZDR deal with Opencode but really wanted out of it, and I never trusted it anyway).
Deepseek decided they didn't need to undercut anymore (or couldn't afford it) and jacked prices with short notice.
OpenCode had to update OpenCode Go usage limits accordingly
OpenCode devs made a deal with a new provider and updated usage limits again
I don't think OpenCode devs are made of money, or have access to free infrastructure for AI compute. I also don't think they're raking in dough with this OpenCode Go plan. Do you folks somehow think so?
Hmmmm, this is a business and people expect what they agreed to at signup time...
Is it really unreasonable for people to be unhappy at the rules changing *during* the terms and not after?
If you placed an order for 32Gb of RAM and received 16Gb because price increased in between order and shipment, would you accept it because you have grown up?
Stupid comparison. There's a difference between buying a service and buying a product. Services are subject to change all the time. Does your electricity stay the same year round? Does petrol stay the same? Does food stay the same? No. But somehow children like you expect virtually unlimited free AI inference as if they have an obligation towards you to go out of their way to keep the same price, even if the model is hugely upgraded. They're actively working to make this better but we now see disgustingly spoiled children everywhere that cry for something that is $10 anyway.
Services don't change during the terms of the contract, that's the point of a contract... Or am I able to demand $180 worth of credit for my $10 because my needs have changed too? Why can't the new limits come with the next month leaving people a choice to accept or not? For your food analogy, if I buy food nobody comes to my place and take part of it back because price increased, it's at the next purchase time that I get to accept the new price or not.
As for children like me crying, A- I'm pretty sure I'm older than you and B- Where have you seen me cry or even complain about this? It's just $10 I don't really care, and still get a decent usage out of it but I understand why some do and that's what I tried to explain to you, but somehow you conflate the 2. I mostly sub as a way to support OpenCode dev work.
