## OpenCode Go — Usage Multiplier Explained (Hy3 8x) **What OpenCode Go is:** It's OpenCode's low-cost subscription — **$5 for your first month, then $10/month** — giving you access to a curated pool of popular open coding models (Grok 4.5, GLM, Kimi, DeepSeek, Qwen, Hy3, etc.). You subscribe, get an API key, and use it like any other provider. ([opencode.ai/docs/go](https://opencode.ai/docs/go/)) **How usage limits work:** Your subscription isn't metered in requests — it's metered in **dollar value**. The standard limits are: - **5-hour limit:** $12 of usage - **Weekly limit:** $30 of usage - **Monthly limit:** $60 of usage Because limits are dollar-based, cheaper models let you make far more requests than expensive ones. ([opencode.ai/docs/go](https://opencode.ai/docs/go/)) **What the "usage multiplier" (e.g. 8x) means:** It's a promotional multiplier applied to a specific model's included usage. Normally Hy3 comes with **$60/month** of usage (the standard monthly cap). The **8x multiplier** means Hy3 temporarily gets **8 × $60 = $480/month** of usage — i.e. 8 times the normal allowance — for the same $10 subscription. **The Hy3 8x promotion (current):** OpenCode announced on X (Aug 19, 2026) that **Hy3 gets 8x the normal usage until August 30th** — "that's $480 of usage for $10, available to all OpenCode Go subscribers." ([x.com/opencode/status/2090085655397216526](https://x.com/opencode/status/2090085655397216526)) **What this means in practice for Hy3:** Per the official docs, Hy3's standard monthly allowance is ~**21,500 requests/month** (based on ~830 input / 71,500 cached / 295 output tokens per request). With the 8x multiplier, that scales to roughly **8 × 21,500 ≈ 172,000 requests/month** during the promo window. ([opencode.ai/docs/go](https://opencode.ai/docs/go/)) **Why OpenCode does this:** It's a promotional campaign to drive adoption of Hy3 (a Tencent model). Notably, the same announcement period also saw OpenCode **remove Luna's 2x usage boost** — so the multiplier system is a way OpenCode rotates which models get extra quota. ([aiboss88.com](https://www.aiboss88.com/en/news/opencode-go-hy3-eight-times-usage)) **Bottom line:** The "usage multiplier" is a temporary boost to how much dollar-value usage a model gets under your flat $10/month plan. Hy3 at 8x = $480 of usage instead of the normal $60, until August 30th, for all Go subscribers.
