Root Cause

This may affect how Codex usage limits are displayed or calculated, because the CLI appears to be reading or classifying the subscription tier incorrectly.

What happened?

Codex CLI's usage/account screen reports my account tier as Plus, but the same ChatGPT account is subscribed to Pro.

This may affect how Codex usage limits are displayed or calculated, because the CLI appears to be reading or classifying the subscription tier incorrectly.

The built-in /feedback command uploaded the related thread:

019d7886-190c-77a1-8f94-201500353cae

Expected behavior

Codex CLI should recognize the account as Pro, matching the subscription shown in ChatGPT account settings.

Actual behavior

Codex CLI reports the account as Plus.

Environment

  • Codex CLI version: v0.118.0
  • Model shown in CLI: gpt-5.4
  • Subscription shown in ChatGPT UI: ChatGPT Pro

Additional notes

Please avoid exposing account-identifying details from the uploaded thread or screenshots. The issue is specifically that the subscription tier shown by Codex CLI appears to be incorrect.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The Codex CLI may need an update or a re-authentication to correctly reflect the account subscription tier as Pro instead of Plus.

Guidance

  • Verify the account subscription tier in the ChatGPT UI to ensure it is indeed Pro and not Plus.
  • Check if there are any updates available for the Codex CLI, as version v0.118.0 might not correctly handle subscription tier detection.
  • Attempt to re-authenticate with the Codex CLI to see if it updates the subscription tier information.
  • Review the feedback thread 019d7886-190c-77a1-8f94-201500353cae for any additional insights or troubleshooting steps.

Notes

The issue seems to be related to the Codex CLI's ability to accurately detect the account subscription tier, which might be a bug or an outdated feature in version v0.118.0.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Re-authenticate with the Codex CLI and check for any available updates, as this might resolve the discrepancy in subscription tier detection.
