Cant figure out why omniroute doesnt work

[SIRMuzyka1]

I`m using free claude code. But recently it just stopped working and nothing is helping

Hi @SIRMuzyka1. "Free Claude" can mean several different connections in OmniRoute, and the fix depends on which one you have, so I need a bit more.

If you were using OpenCode Free, that one broke for everyone yesterday: OpenCode now rejects free-tier requests that do not come from its own CLI, with a 403. It is tracked in #13935, the proposed fix is #13937, and no configuration on your side works around it. Kiro carries Claude models and is the closest replacement for now.

If it is anything else, reply with:

1. The provider name on the connection card.
2. The exact error, from Monitoring → Logs: click the red request and copy the error field.
3. Your OmniRoute version and how you installed it.

With that I can give you a concrete answer instead of a guess.

It stopped working a few days ago. But not sure why it stacked at OpenCode models only.
Thought it should automatically switch to a working llm if any model stop working.

I saw #13935 marked as closed a couple days ago (3.8.50).
Updated with latest version 3.8.50, run docker, using it in pi, still got error today. For example,
Error: oc/deepseek-v4-flash-free: model — [400]: Error from provider (Console): Upstream request
failed: Model is unavailable. (HTTP 400); oc/mimo-v2.5-free: auth — [403]: Error from provider
(Console): OpenCode's free tier can only be used from within OpenCode (HTTP 403)

Seems the ticket #13935 need be re-opened

#14139

@tcat88511-cmd both errors in your paste are expected on 3.8.50, and #13935 does not need reopening: the fix is real, it just has not reached you yet.

• OpenCode's free tier can only be used from within OpenCode (403) is the upstream contract change. The fix (fix(opencode): match the upstream free-tier request contract #14013) is merged on release/v3.8.51, which is not tagged and, as of today, is not in the omniroute:next image either (the image builds have been failing since 09-18, details in Any rough ETA for 3.8.51? #14139). The published 3.8.50 cannot have it.
• Model is unavailable (400) on oc/deepseek-v4-flash-free is OpenCode's own answer for that model, not something on our side.

On "it should switch to a working model": it did. Your error lists two targets, which means the combo tried both and both were OpenCode. Failover cannot leave the pool you gave it. If the combo only contains oc/* targets, add at least one non-OpenCode free target (or a paid one as the last step) and the same request goes through while OpenCode is out.

If you paste the combo name and its targets I can check whether something else is skipping candidates before dispatch.

@tcat88511-cmd — follow-up: the fix is now reachable without building from source. omniroute:next was rebuilt today (2026-09-22 20:31 UTC) from a commit that includes #14013, so docker pull diegosouzapw/omniroute:next gets you the OpenCode free-tier fix. The published 3.8.50 still does not have it.

Worth re-reading my earlier point once you are on the new image: if your combo only contains oc/* targets, failover still has nowhere to go when OpenCode has a bad day. Add one non-OpenCode target as the last step.

I still have the issue after cloning and building from the repo (commit 8ad6b1c (grafted, HEAD -> release/v3.8.52, origin/release/v3.8.52, origin/HEAD)).

You
hello
Error
[Error: [403]: OpenCode's free tier can only be used from within OpenCode]
You

Error
[Error: [403]: Error from provider (Console): OpenCode's free tier can only be used from within OpenCode]

@ebouther That's the same refusal described in #14139, and it's expected for that request: OpenCode's free tier only accepts requests that look like the OpenCode client, and a plain "hello" from a test box or playground carries no tools, so it's refused with that 403. Being on a fresh build of the 3.8.52 branch doesn't change it.

Two things that work: send the request from a real client that declares its tools (OpenCode, Claude Code, an agent), because OmniRoute learns the accepted tool names from those and reuses them; or, for tool-less requests, set OPENCODE_FREE_TIER_PLACEHOLDER_TOOLS (a comma-separated list of tool names, documented in .env.example). If a request with tools from a real client still gets the 403, send the model id and the app.log lines around it.
