Rapid usage depletion

I think something is broken. I had a paused goal that was set to use Astra Medium. I switched to Terra 6.1 Medium and pressed play at 94% limit remaining. It took me about 40 minutes to drop to 68% limit with nothing else going on.

@NEfuGnH on X ↗ · 26 Oct 2026

Tibo, usage is running out extremely fast. I’m at 30% after less than a day using 6.1 sol

@EscuderiaMares on X ↗ · 26 Oct 2026

Usage is so dog shite that you need a reset every single day. Coming from a Pro user btw.

@Luke85953209 on X ↗ · 26 Oct 2026

Literally finished the 5h quota in 12m. Usage : Terra on Max < Sol on Medium Absolute dogshit.

@palaashatri on X ↗ · 26 Oct 2026

3rd day of a back to back reset.... I think we can consider this totally broken.... now my usage is at 1st hour of the day 25% consumed. sigh When this goes back normal(without reset) i wonder how everyone survive this #Apocalypse@grok can you generate a better image than…

@KiraKenny86 on X ↗ · 26 Oct 2026

i cant use all my usage each time before a reset bro

@nesbesss on X ↗ · 26 Oct 2026

Thanks for the reset, Tibo! Quick question: has something changed with Pro usage limits? I used to build an entire app MVP with around 50% of my quota. Now, adding features to that same app or similar projects burns through 50% much faster. Could you look into this? Thanks!

@DaniMCasas on X ↗ · 26 Oct 2026

Even after recharging five times, my current GPT quota is still lower than the old non-resetting limit. I'm on the $200 subscription, but after the reset yesterday afternoon, my quota was already back to zero by 6 AM this morning.

@bruseli197719 on X ↗ · 26 Oct 2026

codex codex isn’t working like before as usage is draining too fast wtf 。一句话浪费了pro x20 20% 的额度 。 这么侵犯我们消费者权益？

@7xbboom on X ↗ · 26 Oct 2026

I'm a Plus user, and while using GPT 6 Astra, my 5-hour quota got used up after just about 3 tasks. It feels like OpenAI is limiting Plus users' usage behind the scenes.

@yjisktg on X ↗ · 26 Oct 2026

Usage limits seem designed around frequent resets rather than a true weekly allowance. Resets make it manageable for now, but without them, even moderate usage and reasoning would exhaust the $200 plan in a single day. It hardly feels like a weekly limit

@feanor338 on X ↗ · 25 Oct 2026

Hi Tibo, I think my account may still be affected by the usage-limit issue you mentioned. My Codex limit is draining extremely fast. Sometimes a single short prompt consumes a huge portion of my plan limit and the task stops before it can even finish.

@loxavostudios on X ↗ · 25 Oct 2026

why is gpt 6.1 sol burning faster than astra after the last reset ? 🤦🏻‍♂️ I had one prompt drain my 5 hour usage wasn't supposed to be 50% cheaper

@aladi_in on X ↗ · 25 Oct 2026

My usage on this reset is going down shockingly fast...

@libertarianesqu on X ↗ · 25 Oct 2026

don’t you think your membership usage quotas have been reduced? Why is the cutback so noticeable for the Plus and Pro 5X tiers? I’m on the 6.1 SOL mid-tier plan, and a single task consumed 10% of my weekly quota—all at once. I really hope you aren’t quietly lowering user quotas.

@molingxi666 on X ↗ · 25 Oct 2026

Shit is draining fast today. I love the resets, but when something that normally uses 10-15% suddenly uses 30%+... that sucks. My usage is draining so fast today.

@Brain_Juice_007 on X ↗ · 25 Oct 2026

Tibo, Codex has become absolutely unusable—it’s throttled, "dumber" (less intelligent), and slow. I really can’t keep putting up with this. They keep resetting the quota every few days, but it’s clearly been slashed; the allowance is pathetic now—just running two small tasks

@Marktang666 on X ↗ · 25 Oct 2026

pro usage is normal after the reset? I ran out 80% of my usage in 2 hours just voice chating

@j1018526531 on X ↗ · 25 Oct 2026

So with a GPT 6.1 SOL Max that worked for like 1 hours after reset and a GPT 5.6 Max that still working my quota drained to 30% already on a PRO 100 plan

@lenr4dx on X ↗ · 25 Oct 2026

Is it just me, or has the quota been getting burned through insanely fast over the past few hours? What’s going on?

@notteresa111 on X ↗ · 25 Oct 2026

@thsottiaux @OpenAI Today, Codex suddenly started burning through my $200/month Pro weekly allowance. One prompt can use ~25%. At this pace, a week’s quota could last just 3 hours. Is there a known usage-accounting issue? This feels drastically worse than before.

@VitaliiVy on X ↗ · 25 Oct 2026

I’m on the Codex 5× plan, and my weekly allowance dropped from 100% to 81% in just 45 minutes after a reset. Never experienced such fast depletion before. I also have a comparable Claude plan, and it’s doing an amazing job! Really hope Codex usage efficiency improves soon!

@Devarshi_2001 on X ↗ · 25 Oct 2026

The credit limit is being exhausted so quickly. Has a regular task ended before it's even completed? Is this what you mean by optimization?

@NeoSailorLab on X ↗ · 25 Oct 2026

Asked codex to make a image via ai studio in the browser built in, blew up 25% of my monthly quota trying to download the image generated lol 😂

@Loyal__Club on X ↗ · 25 Oct 2026

All done in 30 minutes. Back to 0%. Although I'm only using medium reasoning. It burned so fast now.

@XylonPH on X ↗ · 25 Oct 2026

After resetting, a bug occurred, and my 5-hour credit limit was instantly gone gpt6sol

@ccwangswag on X ↗ · 25 Oct 2026

I had 92% left before running astro6, then i saw your post and decided to go all in quick, this is how long my pro100 last for a full 92%, 37mins and 58seconds to be exact, what is happening!??!

@KangQR on X ↗ · 25 Oct 2026

Sir please fix credits, chatgpt eats my credits too much like it's his parfait I got like 1k below then like few hours it's gone there's one time I bought a starter 50 credits and I didn't get any credits.

@hiroZachiras on X ↗ · 25 Oct 2026

Even with the reset, I burned through my whole quota in one day—and that was without even using Astra. I'm on the $200 plan, and this is pretty bad.

@dapenghantkqb on X ↗ · 25 Oct 2026

Honestly these shouldn't be considered releases but bug fixes, and the biggest bug fix you need to deal with is the abhorrent consumption of tokens a 200 USD plan & 1 weekngone in one day with 2 agents running on astra extra - before this would last so long - now what a joke

@surfperfectwave on X ↗ · 25 Oct 2026

The $500 plans usage is A JOKE lol. You reset it to 80% and then it disappears in few hours.

@AlexMcDonald_27 on X ↗ · 24 Oct 2026

我的账号bug了，昨晚打开还是100的额度，现在突然变成10了

@Vvkiuw3hy on X ↗ · 24 Oct 2026

Codex Pro 100 usage is definitely broken for me. dropped to 0 weekly from full in three hours; single thread of normal 6.1 sol working on basic webdev. PLEASE fix it!

@buspsu on X ↗ · 24 Oct 2026

Are you really testing the use of quota? Every day I reach the usage limit with a PRO account. Despite the restarts, despite orchestrating agents carefully. What’s going on?

@DaniMCasas on X ↗ · 24 Oct 2026

My Codex quota reset around 1 AM, and it’s already over 60% used while working in a single conversation. I’m on the legacy $200/month 5× usage plan, using GPT-6.1 Sol at xhigh. Is this expected? Could you help investigate?

@kongyatong on X ↗ · 24 Oct 2026

tibo，为什么额度从 100% 一下子 20 分钟不到掉到了 33%，我是 10xpro，能不能正面回应一下

@kungshnyu199764 on X ↗ · 24 Oct 2026

After the October 23, 10:00 a.m. PDT reset, my available Codex usage feels roughly one-tenth of what it was for comparable tasks. This is a subjective observation, not a measured comparison. Could you check whether there’s a usage-metering issue or a change affecting this?

@asterracy on X ↗ · 24 Oct 2026

Tibo, once again, I appreciate the generous resets, they have changed my life in ways I didn't think was possible. One note, since 12PM (Now 7:50) it's already down to 43% left. Felt that was a little bit too much as this time, the work I had it do was essentially minor in…

@ZotGuard on X ↗ · 24 Oct 2026

WTF? How am I already out of GPT-6.1 Sol usage after just 7 hours?! I’m on the $200 Pro plan.

@xinhen2117 on X ↗ · 24 Oct 2026

the recent reset ate the usage SOOOO fast.

@johndeeregi on X ↗ · 24 Oct 2026

Why does a simple “hi” to Codex consume 14% of the 5‑hour usage limit.

@chasechendev on X ↗ · 24 Oct 2026

Wtf bro usage draining faster than ever on my $200/m plan since the last reset, what’s going on?!!?

@pumpfunwolf on X ↗ · 23 Oct 2026

blasting through 25% usage rate on OpenAI's Codex within the first 10 mins of reset. a month ago, that would take me 2x days. can't make this up....

@speedrunnerbets on X ↗ · 23 Oct 2026

Something is wrong with latest codex version 0.164 that just got released an hour ago. Usage limits are exhausting too fast. @thsottiaux

@ankits0052 on X ↗ · 23 Oct 2026

@thsottiaux @Codex_Changelog @OpenAI codex usage draining way faster please check this

@TrendyGadget08 on X ↗ · 23 Oct 2026

What happened to codex Astra usage since the last reset? I burned through the entire reset usage overnight, yet I was only light work.

@RyGuyFly25 on X ↗ · 23 Oct 2026

I just discovered that, on my Plus plan, GPT 6.1 Sol consumed 8% of the 5-hour window in 8 minutes—that’s 1% per minute.

@pelolisu on X ↗ · 23 Oct 2026

we cannot live on resets forever. the limit for pro 200 now last me 12 hours when it used to last 4 days

@TurtleRua on X ↗ · 23 Oct 2026

its not yet 12 hours from reset and i'm at 50%, only use sol 6.1 high in 2 threads, they even pick terra and luna as subagents.

@Ina_trade86 on X ↗ · 23 Oct 2026

I’m burning through my quota even faster since the reset. What can I even say

@Emperorizz1s on X ↗ · 23 Oct 2026

Since the reset, my Codex quota has been dropping much faster than expected. I’ve only been using GPT-5.6 Sol with High reasoning and haven’t used it that much. Anyone else seeing the same thing?

@HongliangSu on X ↗ · 23 Oct 2026

Tibo, my lord and savior 🙏 Why did my weekly allowance reset to only 86%? I used it a little this morning, and now it’s at 85%. Where did the other 14% go? 😭 @thsottiaux

@MasonJin_0201 on X ↗ · 23 Oct 2026

My Codex quota reset today and showed 97% remaining this morning. After creating just one or two PowerPoint presentations, it dropped to 9%. Could this be related to the recent usage-limit bug?

@paopao730526 on X ↗ · 23 Oct 2026

The $200/month Pro plan is painfully slow with just 3 parallel tasks on 6.1 SOL High, yet burns 20% of my quota in an hour. None of my tasks are even finished. How is this worth $200?

@lovexy2009 on X ↗ · 22 Oct 2026

exact same thing as yours. 3 hours, 9% gone. this was not like this a couple days ago, i literally used 37% from last reset to current reset with the same settings. now my usage is being destroyed, with this speed it'll be gone in less than a day. also, using sol 6.1 high for 2…

@notpsychxpath on X ↗ · 22 Oct 2026

What are you guys even doing? The quota is draining way too fast. If it is going to be like this, you might as well not reset it at all—what is the point? It is a 200 plan, yet 30% of the quota was gone in just half an hour, and the reset card does not even work.

@WuBao15696 on X ↗ · 22 Oct 2026

Damn it,reset just an hour ago, and I'm already down to 40% of my quota on Sol 6.1 Ultra. Can you stop being so ridiculous?

@bruseli197719 on X ↗ · 22 Oct 2026

fuck it, GPT. I just reset it an hour ago, and I'm already down to 40% of my quota on Sol 6.1 Ultra. Can you stop being so ridiculous?

@bruseli197719 on X ↗ · 22 Oct 2026

My quota is running out way too fast—it’s gone after just a few questions—while I can barely use up my Claude quota. This doesn’t make sense, and it’s nothing like OpenAI!!! On one hand, I’m afraid to use it, and on the other, I can’t even use it all up—the difference is just too…

@ZHUOYANG419612 on X ↗ · 22 Oct 2026

No way, codex windows app, consumed 3 percent of 5 hour limit of plus plan on a very simple question after coming back 12 hours later on an extreme long conversation.

@jasonwongghij on X ↗ · 22 Oct 2026

Hello, tibo, I seriously suspect that there is a serious shrinkage problem for the usage quota of plus users. Using gpt6-astra high to work for 5 hours, the 5-hour limit is only 15 minutes, and a sub-task is over before it is over.

@AliTangSanJiao on X ↗ · 21 Oct 2026

我从昨天重置到现在一共用了2%，根本没法用

@LeeLantao on X ↗ · 21 Oct 2026

I used up 30% usage in 10hr of coding with GPT 6.1 sol @xhigh

@pavankushnure on X ↗ · 21 Oct 2026

今天的额度格外不耐用，我已经蹬完了

@changguangyu on X ↗ · 21 Oct 2026

If this has already rolled out, it’s honestly terrible—it doesn’t seem to help at all. I’m a $200 Pro user, and one 20-minute Codex task with Astra Ultra used 15% of my weekly limit. If rollout is ongoing, please expedite it and reset all users’ weekly limits as compensation

@A_Damn_Love_520 on X ↗ · 21 Oct 2026

If cache is guaranteed when resuming Codex sessions, why does quota usage spike after a weekly reset? For the same Sol 6.1 High task, 425M tokens used approximately 23% of my weekly quota before the reset. However, immediately after the reset, 93M tokens used 11%, while another…

@SerefC on X ↗ · 21 Oct 2026

$100 Pro,模型用的是gpt-6.1-sol，额度一天就没了，一个任务都没跑完

@Evanzyqf on X ↗ · 20 Oct 2026

Im draining faster today then I have since I subscribed and ive barely done anything lol, its like it still thinks im using fast mode or a higher effort level or something.

@OfficialGMX on X ↗ · 20 Oct 2026

Curious if I was affected too, since I also noticed a fast decrease of tokens. Could anyone from OpenAI DM so we can check it out?

@dresnite on X ↗ · 20 Oct 2026

Not just over the weekend but today I get like 10% of what I was getting in codex. Truly is the model in charge of all decisions? Where are your guardrails bro this inconsistency is becoming damaging

@filibluster on X ↗ · 20 Oct 2026

It would be better to sort out the limits, which—following an even earlier reset—have become completely nonsensical. They get used up in a flash.

@sthomsonpl on X ↗ · 20 Oct 2026

@thsottiaux I was affected, only generating images the usage drain so fast. This happen before reset. ¿You can check it, please?

@DevKendrym21 on X ↗ · 20 Oct 2026

I've not got anything yet. the speed mine drained was ridiculous seeing I was only running 6.1 sol. there's no way i was affected.

@bbshark_13 on X ↗ · 20 Oct 2026

Yo i got 2 accounts round robin. 1 spends 90% faster due to server issues. Plz wanna allocate another cluster

@mdp_sec on X ↗ · 20 Oct 2026

In a desperate need of reset. Somehow I managed to eat up entire 100% usage quota in couple of hours along with some 20,000 credits.

@ManishBaghelz on X ↗ · 20 Oct 2026

Thanks for the update. I've also noticed my Codex usage draining unusually fast lately, but haven't received a notification. Is the outreach still ongoing, and what's the best way to check whether my account was affected?

@delx369 on X ↗ · 20 Oct 2026

别忘了我的账号，我还是Pro200的用户，感觉每次重置的额度消耗如闪电，我开6 Astra max的普通速度跑一个小时就消耗了快30%！之前我开两个这样的对话开1.5倍速度都没这么快的消耗，这是掺了整个太平洋的水进去吗？真的太离谱了，一下子额度全没了，害得我在用聊天模式6Pro的额度去完成剩下的工作⚠️！

@Jiangzhirui on X ↗ · 20 Oct 2026

I just started working and used 11% usage in 30 min… wtf never was that bad. And I still have my normal 20x usage until 28…. If that gets halved wtf

@WatzlMelissa on X ↗ · 20 Oct 2026

Something is seriously broken with usage. It drains like 5-10x faster currently. I burned 20% of weekly on my pro plan on a fairly simple audit which would have taken maybe 2% off of it a week ago.

@K0rpp1_ on X ↗ · 20 Oct 2026

My 5× Pro plan went from 100% to 0% in less than 400 million tokens. Seriously? What's the point of paying for 5× if the limit runs out this fast? Pretty disappointing.

@LiuAXxx on X ↗ · 20 Oct 2026

Isthere sth wrong with 6.1 these days？I got my 5 hour drought out for a ppt preperation.Then I got my 5x doing nothing but reading readme with 40% cost

@Cybalmala42 on X ↗ · 20 Oct 2026

Dude you need to read he comments. I've never seen a company's reputation go down the toilet so fast. You need to get a project manager who can be transparent with the people. WTF are you doing? Seriously! I burnt through x3 $200 subs since your last reset. Who cares about dots!

@DFutureAI on X ↗ · 19 Oct 2026

Woke up to Codex hitting credit limit overnight. That'll be seven recharges in one day, and two banked resets used. Once you figure this billing bug out, are we getting refunds? @OpenAI @OpenAIDevs

@DrCraigHorne on X ↗ · 19 Oct 2026

I’ve burned through two weeks’ worth of quota in just 3 days, and instead of a fix, we get some pre-produced video?! Not because I want to, but because I have to, I’ll now be looking for an alternative to use alongside this. Thanks for nothing. A fix would have been what mattered

@Neotraxx on X ↗ · 19 Oct 2026

Give us a reset. I'm at 3% weekly remaining

@Craft_the_web on X ↗ · 19 Oct 2026

Codex usage drains VERY fast.

@lightviewee on X ↗ · 19 Oct 2026

才过去1天16小时，200pro额度消耗掉77%，我还没有猛登。。。

@dustADD on X ↗ · 19 Oct 2026

You literally broke it!! It's just consuming billions of tokens for no reason!!!

@mulderpf on X ↗ · 19 Oct 2026

You reduced the total usage, right? Tokens are being spent 2 to 3 times faster than usual.

@Global_CCEO on X ↗ · 19 Oct 2026

sorry can't test your very useful feature, because I am "out of Codex and Work usage"

@AlienVakeel on X ↗ · 19 Oct 2026

老用户的20X额度是不是已经砍半了，为啥只是用它处理些文档然后整理成HTML就用掉了接近一半的额度？

@k_hzou on X ↗ · 19 Oct 2026

Same here.. it bleeds 1% per word

@andybird on X ↗ · 19 Oct 2026

$200 plan. Under 20 hours. Entire Codex allowance gone. Tibo, WTF happened yesterday? This usage burn rate makes no sense. Please ask the tech team to investigate the usage accounting. Is this a bug or the new normal? We need answers. 🙏

@AlexBedeleu on X ↗ · 19 Oct 2026

This is actually depressing. You reset us yesterday, and i have been using nothing but sol, and im at 3 percent rn...i usually have all week doing my work. And im a pro 100 user. .

@pstpst20 on X ↗ · 19 Oct 2026

I know. Mine was used up really fast and I was only doing simple HTML. But I made myself feel better that the usage was for a free reset that I would not other wise have had.

@PhilPhlan on X ↗ · 19 Oct 2026

Tibo, meu feedback é que essa melhoria é muito boa mas realmente parece ser algo básico para um problema importante. Mas antes tarde do que mais tarde. Porém o consumo está bem maior do que o normal. Esse é um problema importante.

@GustavoFre18675 on X ↗ · 19 Oct 2026

My usage dropped down to 50% after the update yesterday F-U-C-K

@Casey_Dunk on X ↗ · 19 Oct 2026

Hey Tibo, is something wrong with Codex usage tracking? 🥲 I'm pretty sure I had over 80% of my weekly limit remaining about an hour ago, but it suddenly dropped to 0%. Now it's eating into my extra credits.

@yun_qi2014 on X ↗ · 19 Oct 2026

Bro. Reset the limits. And I mean: reset *and* ensure the usage rates aren’t terrible anymore. They’re moving at like 2x.

@_arbitrarity on X ↗ · 19 Oct 2026

My Codex logs show Sol used ~54.9M tokens per 1 percentage point of weekly allowance on Oct 15, vs ~1.31M on Oct 18—about 42× faster depletion per raw token.
