Most guides on OpenCode Go start with the models. I want to start with the thing most guides get wrong: the limits are denominated in dollars, not requests.
That sounds like a minor distinction. It isn't.
The thing everyone misses
OpenCode Go costs $5 for the first month, then $10/month. Your usage cap is $12 per 5-hour window, $30/week, $60/month.
When you spend $12 in a 5-hour window on DeepSeek V4 Flash, you get approximately 31,650 requests. When you spend the same $12 on GLM-5.1, you get around 880. Same budget. 36x difference in volume.
