Four hours ago when I checked, my quota was 98%. I didn't use Codex during that time, but now it has dropped to 97% on its own. What could be the reason for this?

Tibo, today I resumed a conversation from over a day ago; it was at 86%, but in just a few minutes, my usage dropped to 50%. I’m a PLUS user, what happened there? I thought the cache was permanent, right?

Went to bed at 1am with 0% weekly usage and about 47,031 credits and codex app closed and nothing running overnight. Wake up at 7am (after the reset at 4:09am local time) to missing 21% weekly usage ($200 Pro Plan) and about 23,792 credits missing from my account???? @thsottiaux

@thsottiaux I haven’t done anything on codex since yesterdays reset and I’m already down to 84%. I’m on the $100 a month pro plan. What’s going on?

I got reset yesterday and already at zero coding one little thing so it’s crazy

@thsottiaux Did you send out a reset yesterday? I just got on and I went from 1 percent to 0 doing nothing. No clue what's going on. Please help

@thsottiaux Tibo, thank you for the reset. However, it’s only been about an hour since then and I’ve barely done any work, yet my weekly usage is already down by 20%. I’m on the Pro $200 plan. At this rate, it’s basically unusable. Is this a bug?

I had the app closed and my usage fell from 10% to 1% over the course of ~18 hours. No dot either. Only thing I did was use regular chatgpt on web/mobile

Significant drop with no usage.

Hey Tibo it’s the other way around, my weekly usage went from 77% down to 9% and I was offline. What did you guys do?
