Try uninstalling and installing, i did it with npm uninstall -g opencode-ai
Then npm install -g opencode-ai
If that doesnt work try deleting the .local folder in C:\Users\DELL if you're on windows. This would delete any configurations you set i believe. Api keys and everything. It used to work for me a few months dont know about now and the error message would come up after about a week or so, to which i did the same again

This error surfaces raw
fetch()internals to the user rather than providing a meaningful error message or automatic recovery. While similar issues exist (#21643 for Zen models on QEMU, #22803 for SGLang ECONNRESET during streaming), this issue covers the general case where the underlying connection drops for any provider — including standard OpenAI/Anthropic endpoints on stable networks.The core problem is that OpenCode does not gracefully handle transient socket closures. Expected behavior would be:
Plugins
none
OpenCode version
1.4.6
Steps to reproduce
This is difficult to reproduce deterministically as it depends on network conditions, but occurs regularly in practice.
