Okay my reset is already used up on the mid tier Max plan. Is anyone else seeing a big change with how fast the "weekly" usage gets used up?
@ferrari_arri on X ↗ · 25 Oct 2026
- Problem
Appreciate the reset ! but as a Plus user, I hit the weekly limit way too often. Honest question: is keeping Plus this tight a strategy to make upgrading feel inevitable?
@KuritoL on X ↗ · 25 Oct 2026
- Problem
I'm testing with Sol 6.1 Ultra today. The $200 weekly subscription quota gives me about 25 hours of usage, which means the current quota is roughly a quarter of what it used to be.
@bruseli197719 on X ↗ · 24 Oct 2026
- Problem
Thanks for the reset! My Pro $200 logs suggest ~14.9k vs ~30.7k Standard-credit-equivalent usage per full weekly allowance. Could this be a metering issue? Are existing limits still unchanged through Oct 29?
@lipperZack on X ↗ · 24 Oct 2026

This is a reset! Seriously though, the weekly Pro limit barely lasts a single workday
@FreeTechieNomad on X ↗ · 23 Oct 2026
- Problem
The product fucking sucks. My "reset" went 100% ot 0% in an hour. Running SIMPLE tasks on GPT-6.1 Sol on Medium. Who are you guys trying to fool? 🤡
@long on X ↗ · 23 Oct 2026
- Problem
Does no one care that the 20x subscription is becoming 10x starting next month? Even with the current 20x subscription, using Astra can burn through 35%+ of the weekly quota in a single day. If the quota is halved, it won't even last two days, and even too many resets won't help.

I used my whole weekly limit. OpenAI gave me a reset. Within hours, 88% of it was gone. Then a Codex goal kept running on its own while my laptop was locked and work was stopped. Nearly two weeks of Pro usage burned on work I never asked for.

I’d like to report an issue: I’ve noticed that my 5-hour quota is being consumed more slowly, while my weekly quota has been depleted rapidly again today.

Keep printing resets. It’s not like the “weekly” limit lasts even 24 hours anyway.
@NachoCerrato on X ↗ · 22 Oct 2026
- Problem
Why isn't the weekly quota on my old Pro X20 even enough to use GPT-6 Astra for two or three days? I think this is unreasonable—we shouldn't have to worry about running out of quota when using the latest models.
@yuyanpengmddf on X ↗ · 22 Oct 2026

Max user here, drained weekly usage in one day in 3 sessions. Not normal.
@ThoughtsOfDevo on X ↗ · 21 Oct 2026

im disappointed. nothing for me as a normal user changed. one High Astra Coding Instance burns through my weekly limit within less then 10 hours.
@LeoGamrs on X ↗ · 21 Oct 2026
- Problem
Unfortunately, I don't think it's ended yet. It's hard to believe I've used a week's worth of 500 in a single day.
@gregoryt9009 on X ↗ · 21 Oct 2026
- Problem
Ran through the Pro 20x weekly limit in less than 36hrs while using Sol 6.1 on High 🤷♂️ Seems like it doesn’t make a difference using Astra or Sol, both are consuming tokens too fast which results in weekly limits being used in a 1-2days.
@Nebula_Matrix on X ↗ · 21 Oct 2026
- Problem
I'm already empty for the week after 10 hours of one sol 6.1 driving some luna workers on - not very much. there must be a $2000 plan that actually gives you a month of usage....?
@wetdavidaxelrod on X ↗ · 20 Oct 2026
- Problem
This 100% affected me! I drained usage w/ 3 resets over the weekend. Was very frustrating!
@tylerbalaban on X ↗ · 20 Oct 2026

I drained a full week of 200 in 7 hours... no indication of that being corrected??
@FuelMonty on X ↗ · 20 Oct 2026

Im on pro 5x and this weeks my credits usage is draining faster than usual, but I havent’t received any compensation yet🫠
@alkindivv on X ↗ · 20 Oct 2026
- Problem
I normally don't reply. But a few days the usage is strange and it consume a lot than before. I hit the 5 hrs so often but before I don't with the same work. Now I reach weekly limit. What happen? It seem like you reduce our usage limit.
@kunthawat on X ↗ · 20 Oct 2026
- Problem
Day 15, Weekly limits now drain 3x faster than before! WHY?!!
@TheNexuse on X ↗ · 19 Oct 2026
- Problem
Yeah idk if they changed something, but my week's usage used to stick around for the whole, now it's gone in about 2 days which is odd. Plus user though
@fizixes on X ↗ · 19 Oct 2026
- Problem
I’ve had a super light workload this week and I have a good feel for how quickly I’m moving though usage. This week is just tanked 100% + 5k credits in no time at all. Something consuming so much more
@AnaDianeFox on X ↗ · 19 Oct 2026

@thsottiaux pls how is it a weekly limit when it runs out in 1 day 😭

Tibo fix Quota Limit Drain Codex Pro x20 run out weekly quota on 2 hours
@minduc2020 on X ↗ · 19 Oct 2026
- Problem
Resets are happening more and more frequently, yet the user experience is noticeably getting worse. When I first upgraded to 5x Pro, I could still run Astra for several hours every day. Now one hour can burn 30% or more of the usage. It’s clear the resets have lowered the weekly…
@AllanKatseven on X ↗ · 19 Oct 2026

Running out my 1 week usage within hours. Why not reset everyday while adding other new features? Cuz the token duration really short! Desperately need RESET!
@drwangjinfa on X ↗ · 19 Oct 2026

Tibo I have 0% quota; yesterday my weekly quota dropped too quickly: something weird happened
@DiegoGaloUlloa on X ↗ · 19 Oct 2026

I started the app two hours ago once I knew about the reset and burned 24% of my weekly limit. It’s been running since then. Working on a bunch of bugs to solve.
@yannisbuilds on X ↗ · 17 Oct 2026
- Problem
We need a reset, Tibo, or to fix the weekly limit fully! Still, compared to the name I am not saying, your limit is a super-fast burner... Let's hope your latest changes help with this.
@shownotover on X ↗ · 17 Oct 2026

why my weekly limit done to 0% so quick. Need a reset
@ChaoWangjer6 on X ↗ · 17 Oct 2026
- Problem
Dunno, feels like less usage again with 80% weekly limit used up in 2 days for me.
@Danmoreng on X ↗ · 17 Oct 2026
- Problem
Why do I still have about 80% of my quota left before bed, but when I wake up 5 hours later it's down to 0? I didn't even have any conversations or tasks open - I'm a $100 subscriber.
@Nilbas_W on X ↗ · 17 Oct 2026
- Problem
Is this why it sucked up all my weekly limit in less than 24 hours?
@cgontijo on X ↗ · 16 Oct 2026
- Mixed
I’m not sure if the fix worked. I burned through my weekly in just under 24 hours, bought $100 in credits and same result. Using a combo of Sol and Luna, working on something for my home lab but with the same amount of working as last week, I didn’t hit the limit this quickly.…
@thetxeagle on X ↗ · 16 Oct 2026

Please reset. Today has been a busy day, and I've used up my weekly allowance again
@luoqianyi0819 on X ↗ · 16 Oct 2026

Please Tibo, review the weekly limit for Plus and Business subscriptions; it was used up in two days with normal use. Apart from that, SOL has been terribly slow in the last few days.
@gaxupin on X ↗ · 14 Oct 2026
- Problem
seems like the only way I get anything done with codex these days is because there's a reset always around the corner. I'm on the $20 a month plan and I hit my weekly in 2 days even with the 5-hour session limit.
@chrisjrutherfor on X ↗ · 13 Oct 2026

ngl i am burning through my plus plan hoping for resets every 2-3 days XD
@Nick0w1py on X ↗ · 13 Oct 2026
- Problem
After the reset of October 11, many users have found similar task will consume more percentage of weekly usage. Is that true? Is there any hidden modification of our usage amount?
@nobody_pi_ on X ↗ · 13 Oct 2026
- Problem
Thumbs down on the new context optimization. Pro plan using Astra to plan and optimize some CAM operations on a part. 1 task - consumed 90% of my weekly limit, and still didn’t finish. For comparison, with Fable on the equivalent plan it is able to complete the task in ~10%.
@BryanMoosman on X ↗ · 12 Oct 2026
- Problem
I just want to know why using Astra on High, will burn through the entire week's credit in only a few hours in just one agent session.
@Keithbuildsonx on X ↗ · 12 Oct 2026
- Idea
A 100$ plan user here, I think we should do another reset i hit my weekly limit with GPT-6 Astra very quickly
@NullBinOfficial on X ↗ · 12 Oct 2026
- Problem
can you believe?I used up my weekly quota in just four hours, and I haven't even used 100M tokens yet. This is too little!
@luoqianyi0819 on X ↗ · 12 Oct 2026
- Problem
Two months ago, weekly limits lasted 2–3 days. After Tibo’s latest reset, just a few image/video compression tests on GPT 6.1 Sol Extra High left me with only 6%! Usage limits are getting worse.
@Jahidknows on X ↗ · 12 Oct 2026

my limit runs out every week like clockwork so these resets are the best part of my week
@localjulius on X ↗ · 12 Oct 2026
- Problem
Because GPT-6 Astra is so dumb, my product integration test has been running all day and still isn’t done. Now I’m out of usage and the job isn’t even finished. How about a reset coupon to make up for it?
@jiji_do9802 on X ↗ · 11 Oct 2026

Signed up for codex yesterday and one agent used 60 % of my weekly in 6 hours, needed that 🤣
@cscdegen on X ↗ · 11 Oct 2026
- Problem
I'm not done with OpenAI, but i fully agree with the micromanaging part. As an experiment i gave Sol 6.1 one detailed backlog.md task in a project with three subtasks and let run. I teared through a) 80% of my weekly quota on the $100 plan, b) took 48h of spawning subagents, code…
@matthias_builds on X ↗ · 11 Oct 2026
- Problem
This poll is useless, i burnt my weekly limit in 4 hours with pro 100 so you think how long i can survive with 5h limit? 5 minutes or 10 minutes?
@RayReallyTrade on X ↗ · 11 Oct 2026
- Idea
For Pro 20x users, a reasonable 5-hour limit and 2× the weekly quota would be better. Few hit the 5-hour cap, but many exhaust the weekly quota. I only switch from Codex to Claude or DeepSeek when I run out—and that's a hassle. This could improve OpenAI's user retention.
@GeorgePaulZzx on X ↗ · 11 Oct 2026
- Problem
I've been GPT/Codex user for years, never even tried other AI before. But usage costs are terrible, my weekly runs out in 2 days (6.1 Sol medium/high). Just a week ago I tried Claude and after almost full week I still have 10% left. If not for resets, Codex would be unusable.
@SHOTHA27 on X ↗ · 11 Oct 2026
- Problem
Astra xhigh ultrafast burned through 100% of my $500 plan’s weekly usage in less than 30 minutes.
@DRWHITEPILL on X ↗ · 10 Oct 2026
- Problem
I think the bigger problem is if right now we are using the daily usage in a couple of hours. That means the weekly usage from the 28th, when it will be 50% smaller, it will be used in under five hours. So we need 20 accounts?
@alex__nedelea on X ↗ · 10 Oct 2026

Used my reset (thanks Tibo!), but usage is burning much faster than before, no?
@banastas on X ↗ · 10 Oct 2026

i can’t prove they slowed it deliberately. the documented 8× allowance burn is enough to criticize.
@dotimus_ on X ↗ · 8 Oct 2026
- Problem
Did you guys nerfed the weekly limit too... I mean now, i get 5 sessions of 5hr limit in a week... Earlier I used to get around 7 or 8??? 😠
@SatvikMishra88 on X ↗ · 8 Oct 2026
- Problem
feels like these resets drain faster than a normal one, crazy, 5x plan, burned the week limit in 3h
@MrShadowKNG on X ↗ · 8 Oct 2026
- Problem
in 20$ plan 40% weekly reset finished in 16hours, I am using sol 6.1 high--- That weekly uses are very bad, you guys are showing tockens efficient and bla bla but you guys reduce weekly uses so much.
@Jahidknows on X ↗ · 7 Oct 2026
- Problem
Todays reset is a sham: It's burning down at 2x or 3x the regular drain speed. I burned 35% percent of the $200 plan within 12h with 1-2 astra agents today. This is exactly how we're getting made familiar with the new reduced limits. Anyone got numbers for today?
@vibevampire_io on X ↗ · 7 Oct 2026
- Idea
Make it so rests not every 7 days make it every 3.5 or make it so we regain usage slowly that would be peek solve everything ,The biggest problem is the hard cut off and having to wait an extended period of time which pauses any work with Ai witch could be days on end until rest.
@IzahaRobin28245 on X ↗ · 7 Oct 2026
- Problem
Astra is now unsuable. Just tell us you don't want us using it. Every time I've used Astra Low in the past week, it's burned my Pro usage limits within 24 hours. That's bollocks!

Welp tough to trust when my codex ultra chose 3 Astra agents to download a bunch of csvs that drained like 60% of my codex account yesterday 😂. Love you tibo, but sent my agent to chat w OpenAI support for a replenishment. Would love your help!
@mikesowerss on X ↗ · 6 Oct 2026

All fun and games all these upgrades, but i am lowkey hoping for a reset since I already spent all my tokens for the week and can't use them 😂
@sirwaltert on X ↗ · 6 Oct 2026

I won't tell you that I burned through my extra 25,000 topped-up credits today, desperately needing a reset, yet still didn't get my 6.1 SOL 8x speed.
@yllll_yl on X ↗ · 6 Oct 2026
- Problem
I feel like my usage is back to burning up as fast as it was a few days ago! Yesterday I only used about 20% of my weekly and then I had to reset this morning and I’m down to only 9% left so I’ve used a whole weeks reset in one day on similar tasks that took only 10% yesterday.
@InsiderLocalTV on X ↗ · 6 Oct 2026

My one regular weekly limit + 2 bank reset and 45000 credits are gone with 1 day work - this ridiculous to discuss about the problems in OpenAI solutions.
@darkokarac on X ↗ · 6 Oct 2026
- Problem
Day 1 was 50% faster. Speed isn't what's missing. My weekly limit now lasts one day. And here's where it goes. The launch-vs-today train comparison going around shows it well. Same prompt: at launch the train was the subject. Today there's more detail and the wrong focus. That…

Ran through the weekly Pro 20x limit in 23 hours, while Astra Extra-High did game dev tasks after a full reset. I used 2 resets since October 3rd 😬… wasn’t consumption supposed to be better? The results are nice, not complaining too much, but 23-28hrs of work is a low limit.
@Nebula_Matrix on X ↗ · 6 Oct 2026

spent over 80% of my usage correcting the errors that 6.1 sol keeps making T_T wished there was a reset today (or at least a birthday reset) hahaha

Literally, Chatgpt dot gave me the best usage of my life. I ran out of 100$ codex usage within 10 hours of the last reset. But ive shipped 3 apps using dot alone. By the way I had to do testing by myself since I had no codex credit for the hands on testing and verification.
@Nonosam2 on X ↗ · 5 Oct 2026

Can you ship a good model that doesn't burn my weekly usage in 2 hours?
