OpenCode Zen users face payment and geo-blocking issues

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Users in Russia are facing difficulties accessing OpenCode Zen due to a combination of payment issues and geo-blocking. While the service advertises a pay-as-you-go model with no markups, users have reported that their cards are being declined, and some requests are being blocked at the network level, irrespective of the payment method. This infrastructure-level blocking appears to be a broader issue, as users from other regions, including Italy, have also experienced card declines. The exact source of the geo-blocking remains unclear, with possibilities including Cloudflare, OpenCode Zen itself, or the underlying model providers like Anthropic. AI
