OAuth Marathon 🏃

Keep running when you hit the wall. Automatic credential rotation for OAuth providers - when one account hits rate limits or auth errors, opencode seamlessly switches to your next available credential within the same provider.

Note: This rotates between multiple accounts within the same provider (e.g., two OpenAI logins), not between different providers.

Works for all OAuth providers — both core providers and plugins.

For plugin authors: Plugins that manage their own multi-account pools internally must register each account via Auth.addOAuth() to benefit from this feature.

The Problem

Using OAuth providers with personal subscriptions often means hitting rate limits mid-session. Currently, when this happens, your request fails and you're stuck waiting.

Proposed Solution

Register multiple OAuth accounts for the same provider, and opencode will automatically:

  • Rotate on 429 - Rate limited? Next credential steps in
  • Retry on 401/403 - Force token refresh, failover if still failing
  • Recover from network errors - Transient failures don't stop the run
  • Track health - Cooldown periods prevent hammering exhausted credentials
  • All exhausted - Returns the last error response gracefully

How to Add Multiple Accounts

Run opencode auth login multiple times for the same provider:

opencode auth login   # Login with first account
opencode auth login   # Login with second account (adds, doesn't replace)

Architecture Overview

flowchart TD
    A[Provider.getSDK] --> B[createOAuthRotatingFetch]
    B --> C{fetchFn}
    C -->|429 Rate Limit| D[moveToBack + notifyFailover]
    C -->|401/403 Auth| E[markAccessExpired + retry]
    C -->|Network Error| F[recordOutcome + notifyFailover]
    C -->|200 OK| G[recordOutcome success]
    D --> H[Try Next Credential]
    E -->|Still fails| H
    F --> H
    H --> C

Use Cases

  1. Multiple OAuth subscription accounts for the same provider
  2. Resilience against transient auth failures and rate limits

Configuration (Optional)

Per-provider settings in opencode.json. Sensible defaults are used if omitted:

{
  "provider": {
    "openai": {
      "oauth": {
        "maxAttempts": 3,                // default: number of accounts
        "rateLimitCooldownMs": 60000,    // default: 30000
        "authFailureCooldownMs": 300000, // default: 300000
        "toastDurationMs": 5000          // default: 8000
      }
    }
  }
}

Demo

OpenAI Account 1 → 429 Rate Limited
               ↓ (automatic)
OpenAI Account 2 → 200 OK ✅
               ↓
Toast: "Rate limited on openai. Switching OAuth credential..."
