Has the capacity issue still not been resolved? I keep getting the “Selected model is at capacity” error

@thsottiaux Pro user. Since Oct 22, gpt-6.1-sol in Codex fails ~60% with "Selected model is at capacity", only on my account. 6-sol/luna work with the same prompt; weekly usage 17%. Support just sends a template. Could someone take a look?

I'm a ChatGPT Pro subscriber, and I've been getting the error "Selected model is at capacity. Please try a different model." for four days straight. What's the point of resetting the usage limits if I still can't use the model?
@zthreefires on X ↗ · 23 Oct 2026

please ensure that the "Selected model is at capacity" error no longer occurs—I would even be willing to wait in a queue.

Stop messing with rate limit resets and fix the damn capacity issue already. "Selected model is at capacity" has been around forever. What the hell are you doing?

.@thsottiaux @OpenAI @OpenAIDevs Following up on my report from this morning. The "Selected model is at capacity" error is still occurring repeatedly after several hours, with no automatic recovery. I'm a ChatGPT Pro subscriber, and this is seriously disrupting my work

Can we get a more detailed error message for "Selected model is at capacity. Please try a different model."? It doesn't matter what model I change it to. I can go all the way down to Luna or I can go up to Astra in all weights. Pro user. Why is this happening? I thought there…
@PaperBurgerDev on X ↗ · 22 Oct 2026
- Problem
nah, we'd appreciate you guys fixing up the model capacity more. ive used 8% of my usage cuz its impossible to do anything. not cool that 61sol is a bad deal for you guys so u guys are just not letting us use it indirectly
@chenantong_ct on X ↗ · 22 Oct 2026

However, the problem of capacity error remains unresolved, and resetting has no effect.🧐
@zymhxy on X ↗ · 22 Oct 2026

tbh, no more reset, fix the issues first, now the capacity issue made me cannot even consume my original usage properly, not because I have usage issue, but just slow.

Caching is great, but capacity is the real problem for Pro users. On Oct 9 a single Codex thread hit 54 "Selected model is at capacity" errors, and it happened again on Oct 20. Support case #17047613 has been silent since Oct 14. Could someone on the Codex team take a look?…

@luckylucas1976 on X ↗ · 21 Oct 2026
- Problem
Since yesterday’s “reset,” every model has displayed the same message: “The selected model has reached its capacity limit.” So, what is the point of this so-called “reset”? While it ostensibly refreshes the quota, in reality, it further restricts actual usage.
@HHH7vd on X ↗ · 21 Oct 2026
- Problem
My situation is even worse. I’m on Plus, and Codex has been completely unusable for 3 days. Every model shows “Selected model is at capacity” across all platforms. My weekly usage is only 2%. I can’t even send “Hello” in a new session.

If you don't fix this 'Selected model is at capacity. Please try a different model' bullshit, then Codex is officially cooked. I haven’t touched it for ten days, came back today, and I'm still getting hit with the exact same error. Just absolutely brilliant.

If the "Selected model is at capacity. Please try a different model." problem can't be solved, what's the point of resetting? Right now I can't use up any of my quota at all.

Didn't you say the "Selected model is at capacity. Please try a different model" error wouldn't show up anymore? Why is it popping up everywhere non-stop again today?!

■ Selected model is at capacity. Please try a different model. Didn't you say this severe and obvious bug was fixed and wouldn't kill your sessions outright anymore and you didn't do a reset because of it? Usage cap is pathetic btw, I'm lucky if I have 50% after a day now, $200

This has been one of the worst periods I've experienced with your service. I haven't been able to get any work done because of constant capacity errors. Over the past month, I've lost an entire week of productivity. But do you even care? Of course not. The money I'm paying....

Hello, I've recently been frequently encountering the "Selected model is at capacity" error when using GPT6 and GPT6.1, and retries haven't helped. I hope the service can be made more stable. Perhaps older models can be retired to free up more machine resources for SOTA models.

You mentioned improvements for a model that runs out of capacity, but just now I hit capacity three times in a row while trying to let the model do its job. It was interrupted by capacity limits before it could continue the task. @thsottiaux

Seeing it in the wild right now—in packs of 5. I left an overnight task running tonight and it died in under 45 seconds. It threw the capacity error 5 times in a row in a loop and completely blocked for the rest of the night without ever continuing by itself.

Please provide reset compensation for paying users stuck with model capacity limits. Paid users shouldn’t face this problem. It’s wild you’re presenting this as a major upgrade. Bugs need to get fixed fast. This is your error, not some big new feature for users.

@naimsalman on X ↗ · 15 Oct 2026
- Idea
A quick fix would be Wait & Retry if model is at capacity instead of simply stopping the run. That's something you can do @thsottiaux and what will make the problems for users a bit smaller. People want their Codex to work through night, not to stop 1 hour after they went to bed.
@R4mboX87 on X ↗ · 14 Oct 2026
- Problem
Could we first address the issue of "The selected model is at capacity. Please try a different model."? Your users can't even use the system properly anymore. Why are you still trying to make further improvements? Please note the priority.
@ShaoNiannvl on X ↗ · 14 Oct 2026
- Problem
why does 'selected model is at capacity' completely stop the session instead of automatically waiting for capacity to become available and then resuming, just like it does when you hit usage limits?
@isandotart on X ↗ · 14 Oct 2026
- Problem
"exceeded retry limit, last status: 429 Too Many Requests" anyone?
@d3muj4 on X ↗ · 14 Oct 2026
- Problem
You're optimizing disk space while sitting on a pile of garbage. As a model provider you can't even serve your own models. Capacity errors every day. Fine if it's extra capacity, but even 6.1 just says "capacity" and won't run. So what exactly am I paying for? And your TPS is…
@deshiou0604 on X ↗ · 14 Oct 2026
- Problem
Huh? Is this an update? Isn’t this something that should already be there normally?More importantly than that, because the model is full, it tells me to change models twice in an hour, and even while I’m sleeping Codex stops because of that. I really hate it and want it…
@41u_jr on X ↗ · 13 Oct 2026
- Problem
Another one, because your system stopped me five times today because the model was at capacity if you don't even notice it, it just sits there until you tell it to resume this is a disgusting service
@rickmaz1106 on X ↗ · 13 Oct 2026
- Problem
6.1 sol is unusable, your reset doesn't matter if i can't even use my weekly tokens anyway. The model is too slow and get "model at capacity" error every 10min or so.
@0pf0r on X ↗ · 13 Oct 2026
- Problem
Keeping showing the error message: “Selected model is at capacity. Please try a different model.” The chatgpt app is completely unusable. It's not a reset shortage. It's a failure to access and utilize the available models
@chengsure on X ↗ · 13 Oct 2026
- Problem
Every time I reset, I run into the "Selected model is at capacity" error. Why reset at all? If the service is unusable after a reset, what is the point of resetting? Is it just so we can see that the quota is still there, even though we can't actually use it?
@ternderai on X ↗ · 13 Oct 2026

Every single day, I keep getting the error "Selected model is at capacity. Please try a different model." The service is practically unusable. What's the point of doubling the weekly usage limits (2×) if I can't even use the model? I'm switching to Claude next month.

@chengsure on X ↗ · 11 Oct 2026

Thanks for the reset 🙏 One suggestion: show load per model (or typical peak hours), not just a “busy” error after the fact. Then I could pick a less busy model or schedule big tasks off-peak, instead of hitting limits or weaker output mid-task.
@printfl_ on X ↗ · 11 Oct 2026
- Problem
GPT-6.1 Sol is practically unusable! Constant 503 errors, endless reconnects, and "model at capacity" warnings. I still have plenty of quota left, yet I can't even finish a coding task. This is ridiculous. What's the point of a powerful model if it never works?
