Ratelimits

An OpenCode plugin that displays your provider's rate limits (x-ratelimit-* headers) in the TUI footer. Published on npm.

⚡ 599/600 req · 858K/1M tok · reset 8.5s

Install

Install from npm (the plugin is published there):

opencode plugin add opencode-ratelimits

Or add it to your config — global (~/.config/opencode/opencode.json) or per-project (opencode.json):

{
  "plugins": ["opencode-ratelimits"]
}

Or install from GitHub:

opencode plugin add github:reda-maizate/opencode-ratelimits

Restart the TUI after installing (the TUI client loads plugins on startup):

# quit the TUI, then reopen it
opencode

Update later with opencode plugin update.

How it works

The plugin has two entrypoints that communicate over OpenCode's plugin RPC:

• Server (index.ts) — hooks http.response, extracts the x-ratelimit-* headers from primary responses, and publishes them as typed RPC events.
• TUI (tui.tsx) — calls the plugin's ratelimits RPC for the current state, subscribes to updated events, and renders the limits for the session's active provider in the prompt.footer.status slot.

Limits are tracked per provider, so switching models — or subagents running on another provider — each show their own numbers. The footer hides itself after ten minutes without a response.

If the footer never appears, your provider likely doesn't send rate-limit headers (see below), or the server plugin failed to load — check the OpenCode server log.

Requirements

• OpenCode v2 or later — the plugin uses the v2 plugin system (separate server and TUI entrypoints communicating over RPC).
• Your provider must return OpenAI-compatible rate-limit headers:

Header	Example
x-ratelimit-limit-requests	600
x-ratelimit-remaining-requests	599
x-ratelimit-reset-requests	100ms
x-ratelimit-limit-tokens	1000000
x-ratelimit-remaining-tokens	999999
x-ratelimit-reset-tokens	8s522ms

These are returned by Scaleway's Generative APIs and other OpenAI-compatible providers.

Development

bun install    # dev dependencies (types and tests only — the plugin itself has none)
