What issue are you seeing?

I am currently using Codex version 5.4 with the ChatGPT Plus plan.

Since recently, my Codex usage quota appears to be consumed much faster than before, even when performing small edits or simple requests.

Previously, similar tasks consumed significantly less quota, but now the usage decreases noticeably after only a few interactions.

This behavior started recently and feels different compared to normal usage patterns from previous days.

I am mainly performing typical development tasks such as:

  • small code edits
  • short requests
  • limited file modifications

However, both the 5-hour quota and overall usage seem to decrease faster than expected.

Could you please check whether this is expected behavior after recent usage metering changes, or if there might be an issue with quota tracking on my account?

Thank you.

TL;DR

Review recent usage patterns and metering changes to identify potential causes for the accelerated quota consumption in Codex App version 5.4.

Guidance

  • Verify the recent usage metering changes and their impact on quota calculation to determine if the new behavior is expected.
  • Compare current usage patterns with previous ones to identify any changes that might be contributing to the increased quota consumption.
  • Check for any updates or announcements from the Codex App team regarding changes to quota tracking or usage limits.
  • Monitor quota usage over a longer period to see if the issue persists and gather more data on the usage patterns.

Notes

The issue might be related to changes in the usage metering system, but without more information about the recent changes, it's difficult to provide a definitive solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Review and adjust usage patterns to minimize quota consumption until the cause of the issue is determined.
