pi-opencode-go-rotation

Rotate between multiple OpenCode Go API keys. The extension checks OpenCode Go usage when a 429 response arrives, rotates around quota-blocked and cooling-down keys, and recovers silent stalls detected by the watchdog.

Install

pi install npm:@lnilluv/pi-opencode-go-rotation

Setup

Add your API keys:

/opencode add personal sk-xxxx
/opencode add work sk-yyyy
/opencode add backup sk-zzzz

The first key added becomes active immediately.

How it works

The extension sets the active key as a runtime override, which takes priority over OPENCODE_API_KEY environment variables and auth.json credentials.

The extension has three recovery paths:

1. Usage-verified Go quota exhaustion: when OpenCode Go returns HTTP 429, the extension sends the active key only to https://opencode.ai/zen/go/v1/usage. If a usage window is rate-limited, the failed key is blocked until the latest reported reset and the next non-quota-blocked key is activated. Rotation prefers keys outside transient cooldown, but can clear a cooldown rather than keep using an exhausted key. Repeated failures try each configured key once. When every key is quota-blocked, rotation stops and reports the earliest reset instead of cycling.
2. Transient limit errors: when the usage endpoint is unavailable, does not report a rate-limited window, or does not finish within 10 seconds, the extension preserves the existing transient 429 behavior. It aborts a timed-out usage request, marks the current key as on cooldown, switches to the next key that is not quota-blocked, and applies it via setRuntimeApiKey.
3. Silent stalls: when an opencode-go provider request has no response or stream activity for the watchdog window, the extension rotates to an eligible key, aborts the hung turn, and rewrites the abort as a retryable timeout error.

This is still reactive: it does not poll usage or check limits before normal requests.

Fixed-window Go plan quota errors reported at message end follow the same rotation path. A parseable reset timestamp is authoritative; otherwise the configured cooldown duration is used as the block duration. A response-hook rotation is deduplicated so the matching message-end error cannot rotate twice.

Pi's built-in auto-retry picks up the new key on the next request.

Cooldowns default to 60 minutes. Quota blocks expire at their persisted deadline. Manual /opencode use <n> and /opencode next clear both restrictions on the selected key.

Usage commands use https://opencode.ai/zen/go/v1/usage and stop waiting after 10 seconds. A timeout reports Usage request timed out after 10s..

Commands

Configuration

Keys are stored in ~/.pi/agent/opencode-keys.json with file permissions 0600. Status output shows key names only; it does not display key material.

{
  "keys": [
    { "name": "personal", "key": "sk-xxx" },
    { "name": "work", "key": "sk-yyy" }
  ],
  "activeKeyIndex": 0,
  "cooldownMinutes": 60,
  "watchdogEnabled": true,
  "watchdogIdleMs": 90000,
  "cooldowns": {},
  "quotaBlockedUntil": {}
}

Retry settings

Pair with pi's auto-retry for best results. In ~/.pi/agent/settings.json:

{
  "retry": {
    "enabled": true,
    "maxRetries": 3
  }
}

Set maxRetries to at least the number of keys so all keys get a chance before pi gives up.

Limitations

• The watchdog is scoped to the opencode-go provider only. Other providers are not aborted or rotated.
• A legitimate long-running request with no stream activity can be treated as stalled; tune with /opencode watchdog <seconds> or disable with /opencode watchdog off.
• When all non-quota-blocked keys are transiently cooling down, the extension may clear the next eligible key's cooldown. It never automatically clears or force-selects a quota-blocked key.
• When all keys are quota-blocked, automatic rotation stops on the current runtime key until a block expires or a manual command clears one.
• Go plan usage limits are tied to the subscription workspace; multiple keys from one workspace should not be assumed to provide independent quota. See the OpenCode Go documentation.
• Keys added via /opencode add are stored in plaintext. The config file is created and maintained with 0600 permissions.
