## Answer to the Reddit Post: "Question about the Go subscription"
**The short answer:** You're not getting "$60 of credits" — those are usage **limits** (caps) on how much API usage you can consume for the flat $10/month fee. It's a subscription model, not a prepaid credit model.
### How OpenCode Go Works
Per the official docs at **[opencode.ai/docs/go/](https://opencode.ai/docs/go/)**:
- **Pricing:** $5 first month, then **$10/month**
- **Usage limits included:**
- 5-hour window limit — **$12** of usage
- Weekly limit — **$30** of usage
- Monthly limit — **$60** of usage
### How it pays off for OpenCode
1. **Averaging across users** — Not everyone hits the $60 cap. The average usage per subscriber is well under $10.
2. **Bulk negotiated rates** — OpenCode works directly with model providers and benchmarks them. They get much better per-token pricing than what's listed in the "dollar value" limits.
3. **Volume economics** — Aggregating many users lets them fill provider capacity efficiently.
4. **Overage fallback** — If you exceed the limits, you can tap your own Zen credits (you pay for overage).
5. **Growth strategy** — It's designed to make open coding models accessible, attract international users (hosted in US, EU, Singapore), and grow the OpenCode ecosystem.
### Models available
DeepSeek V4 Flash/Pro, Qwen3.7 Max/Plus, Kimi K2.7 Code, GLM-5.2, MiMo-V2.5, MiniMax M3, and more.
### Example: DeepSeek V4 Flash
With the cheapest model, you can get **~158,000 requests per month** within the $60 limit. That's a lot of coding assistance for $10.
**Bottom line:** It's like a gym membership — you pay a low monthly fee, and OpenCode bets that most users' actual usage costs them less than $10 on average, while you get the potential to use far more than you pay for.
