Qoder unavailable (502)

[matt22207]

Hi team,

I'm trying to get a free Qoder account working, and having trouble. Some details:

• OmniRoute v3.8.49 running in docker (diegosouzapw/omniroute:latest)
• Docker Volumes (Host>Container) :
  /home/me/data/omniroute-data /app/data
  /home/me/data/omniroute-data/qoder-home /home/node/.qoder
• Env var: CLI_QODER_BIN=/app/data/qoder-cli/qodercli
• Logged in to container's shell (as "node" user) and confirmed that running a /app/data/qoder-cli/qodercli session launches properly, auths via PAT, and bootstraps the /home/node/.qoder directory.. Also tried the same steps with root user (and bootstrapping /root/.qoder) without improvement.
• Confirmed restarting the container retains the auth & qodercli session
• Setup new Qoder provider account in OmniRoute using PAT (Connection validates and API primary health is green: 🟢 Primary Key: pt-Dv0bQ****8e39 )
• Set "Account concurrency cap" to 1 in the account's settings
• Turned on "Protected" for rate limit protection on account.
• Import all models. I don't know what models the free account has access to, so I tried them all, but picked one below as sample:
• Click "Test Model" on any model and it fails with a 502 bad gateway.

Here's a sample log from docker using APP_LOG_LEVEL=debug:

Hey @matt22207! I opened #9319 for this -- the [502]: qodercli returned an error pattern with the PAT path validates cleanly but fails on the actual request is the same shape as #9277 (Qoder needs reinstalling), so the two are likely connected.

A few quick things you can try while the issue is investigated:

1. Re-auth the Qoder CLI inside the container as node, then restart OmniRoute (docker compose restart) so the child_process exec re-reads the session.
2. Run /app/data/qoder-cli/qodercli <a simple prompt> manually from the container shell and see if it returns the same [502]. If yes, the upstream or session is the problem, not OmniRoute.
3. Capture the stderr from qodercli (run with CLI_QODER_DEBUG=1 if exposed, or directly under the container) and attach to [BUG] Qoder provider returns 502 qodercli returned an error on every chat request #9319 -- without the upstream stderr OmniRoute only sees the wrapper 502 and cannot say more.

Thanks @diegosouzapw !

I'm not sure, but as of today, I think they got rid of their free (usage) plan, except trials, which I'm not on. Yesterday, i thought it said free had access to "basic models" here, but today nothing: https://qoder.com/pricing

Now in qodercli I get:

You've reached your credit usage limit. Please upgrade your subscription plan to get more resources. Report Issue (input /feedback)

I'm also showing that today they switched me to Qwen3.8-Max (which costs $$), whereas yesterday it auto set me to "Cantus", which it says is no longer available. Maybe that one was free yesterday as a stealth testing model? Since I at least got responses in qodercli yesterday (and I wasn't on the trial), I can only assume they cut off this access. Not sure. I'll keep an eye on this, but seems Qoder may be done with free access. (I usually don't waste the effort on free trials since they don't last long.)

Unless something changes, i'm not sure I can help further (or if I was the only one experiencing this). Were you able to reproduce my issue? If not, I guess we can close this discussion until we get any new info.

@matt22207 — thanks for digging. If Qoder dropped the free tier as of yesterday and qodercli itself returns the credit-limit error, there is nothing OmniRoute can do on the proxy side — the CLI binary is the upstream. The [502]: qodercli returned an error you saw earlier was the same root cause (quota exhausted) but masked behind the generic wrapper.

I will close #9319 as upstream/no-fix and link this thread. If Qoder brings back a free tier or someone else reproduces with an active paid plan, re-open and I will trace the CLI stderr path.
