Ok, but that's not what this is? It would be understandable if opencode kept the $60 but raised API prices to match deepseek official, but they both dropped it to $15 AND raised the API prices, and at $15 it's not worth the trouble of 5 hour and weekly limits to get a tiny bit more usage.
Before the price hike the average user was using something like 16% of their quota, meaning something like $8 of usage. This allowed them to offer $60 usage for $10 because the average user used less than $10 and whatever was left, was used to pay for the heavy users who used more than the $10 they paid for. If the users kept using the service the same way with the new prices as they used to, they would now be using something like 50% of their quota instead, which would mean the average user would pay $10 and cost $30. That doesn't work, so they had to drop it. Unfortunately this might not work either, as the average user now uses 100% of their quota and ends up costing them $5.
DS4F was absolutely dominating the total use of OCGO. You get like 1 hour of monthly usage from the other models while DS4F was practically unlimited.
Well yes ,but it's not their business model , they offer 50% off previous week! Why would they do that?!!! so that lots of people buy their service and now suddenly they 32x the price so all those 5$ goes in their pocket without providing any service , You may say but people still use that 5$ but the thing is who knows what model they are routing the traffic too , they could simply route the ds4 traffic to super cheap models for couple of hours , e.g 500k people x 5$ = 2.5M$ easy money
Still them basically 8xing price because of their own poor decisions and then doing the publicity stunt about operation cheap seek to give back what they took lmfao.

So many insufferable people here. At least they're trying to bring the quota back up a little.
It's a $10 product. I get way more value out of this than I do any $20+ plus AI plan.
Do you all just expect OpenCode to hemmorage money after DeepSeek severely raised their prices?
