the only worthwhile thing in the last 18 days has been the resets. The only thing we want is the 200$ plan to stay at 20x usage. You will lose a lot of pro subs otherwise.

This is becoming a joke. I just burned trough 20% of weekly 100 in 10 minutes. Not to speak of the multiple codex crashes. Please fix it man. Its getting out of hand

Codex feels nerfed lately. I barely get started before I hit the limit.💩

I've been complaining about Codex quotas for months. Running 3 Pro $200 accounts, back when that was the top plan, before the $500 tier, was never normal. Resets help, but they mask the problem. Tibo reset me <24h ago, one project only, and I'm already at 10% left with 6 days to…

must be, he said over the weekend. been like this since 5.6.. I have been using a full 20x $200 sub every day. sometimes 1.5 a day. $200 should last endless usage the whole month, I shouldn't need two accounts and be begging for resets. WTF OpenAI I miss the product you once were

My Codex credits ran out so fast that I kept buying more. Then I upgraded my plan, hit the limits again, upgraded again, and bought even more credits. Six credit purchases and two upgrades in one week. I'm now on Pro 200. Could my account be among those 40,000?

Thanks for the reset! But the relief it brings says a lot about how quickly usage burns through the allowance. Even Sol feels much hungrier lately. I'd love more efficient models or revised limits so we can rely on Codex for daily work without waiting for resets.

I attempted to work this weekend, but my limit vanished within a minute; consequently, I have decided never to return to Codex, as it is a nightmare goodbye 👋

Following this change, limits are consumed more quickly without providing any additional performance.

My codex 500 usage (I bought a new account) got slashed 20% in the first half hour! I notice this over and over again. So does the cli /status command show the right size of usage?

Codex現在是有史以來最消耗token且額度最少的一次

Not sure what happened but since this last reset I turned on my latest workflow. (My usage always hits 0% remaining before the resets) But this time I went from 100% - 0% in 3 hours flat. My subscription level is $500 / Month. 2x Astra - 2x sol agents running at the same time.

Day 12. Codex went back to draining limits faster. This improvement landed badly to us users. No progress was made rather an old problem surfaced again aggressively
@KueWaJesu on X ↗ · 17 Oct 2026

what happened to the codex usage limits? why are they being consumed so much faster now? it feels like Im getting significantly less usage than before, despite these improvements 🤦♂️

Hey Tibo I Just want to know hot about my Codex usage limit going????? I Just sleep a night , but my Codex Usage Limit Is over , im fucking even open my computer!!!

Reading this when i just used up 100% of my usage limit and 100% of my banked reset in a day after telling codex to be lead orchestrater and spin up several subagents on my “20x” Pro acct 🥹 had to do a double take if it was a 5x acct. Literally running on reserve credits now……

Codex is consuming a significantly larger amount of tokens. Please fix this issue.

Am I doing something wrong or am I not the only person experiencing codex’s useage going way quicker

Plus subscriber here. I just suddenly get my reset and two tasks are running in astra fast.

Fck, I was burning in Astra max fast, already got my reset. Should I stop any of my codex threads or keep it running?
@nahum_gs on X ↗ · 15 Oct 2026
- Problem
I think it's not working well. total_usage_tokens doubles compared to input tokens, making codex compacts earlier at ~200k context.
