v1.1.31: Sub-Agents Don't Count Quota, New Retro Theme
Release Date: January 22, 2026
One-Line Summary
This update brings real benefits: sub-agent invocations no longer count toward your quota limits! Plus, it adds the retro-style Gruvbox theme and Traditional Chinese support.
Major Benefit: Sub-Agents Exempt from Quota
What was updated?
Now, sub-agent sessions initiated by the main Agent will be marked as agent-initiated and no longer count toward your API usage quota limits.
What does this mean?
Previously, you might have worried that calling several helpers (sub-agents) would consume too much quota. Now:
- You can confidently let AI launch a
searchagent to look up information. - Or launch a
code-reviewagent to review code. - These subtask consumptions will be more "lenient" (depending on your quota policy, but typically means they don't count toward main quota or have separate allocation).
How to benefit?
No action required. Simply upgrade to v1.1.31 to activate.
New Look: Gruvbox Theme
What is Gruvbox?
Gruvbox is a classic retro-style color scheme with warm tones and moderate contrast, easy on the eyes for long coding sessions.
How to switch?
In OpenCode Desktop or Web version settings:
- Open Settings
- Find Theme
- Select Gruvbox
Language Support: Traditional Chinese
New Support
OpenCode now supports Traditional Chinese interface! The original "Chinese" option has been renamed to "Chinese (Simplified)" for clarity.
How to set?
- Open Settings
- Find Language
- Select Traditional Chinese
