Summary

Codex usage quota and credit balance appear inconsistent and possibly stuck when used via OpenCode.

Environment

• Interface: OpenCode (not official Codex CLI)
• Model: gpt-5.4 (via OpenCode)
• Auth: ChatGPT Plus account
• Codex CLI version: 0.120.0
• OS: Linux (Fedora)

Configuration

• Auto-reload minimum: 125
• Auto-reload target: 250

Actual Behavior

• Weekly quota shows 0% but usage is still allowed
• 5h quota remains at 100% despite active usage
• Credits do not decrease with usage
• Credits increased unexpectedly beyond configured target
• Quota and credit state appear frozen or desynchronized

Expected Behavior

• Quota should update based on actual usage:

  • 5h limit should decrease with usage
  • Weekly limit should reflect consumption

• Credit balance should:

  • Decrease with usage when applicable
  • Only increase according to auto-reload configuration

• Auto-reload should:

  • Trigger only when balance < 125
  • Restore balance only up to 250
  • Never exceed configured target

• System state (quota + credit) should be consistent and not appear frozen

Additional Context

• CLI and web UI show identical quota/credit values
• Issue occurs via OpenCode (not official CLI directly)
• Unclear whether root cause is:
  • Codex backend (quota / credit accounting)
  • or OpenCode integration layer

Impact

• Difficult to understand real usage limits
• Reduced trust in quota and billing behavior
• Potential risk of incorrect credit accounting

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Steps to Reproduce

1. Use Codex via OpenCode

2. Check usage via /status

3. Observe:

   • 5h limit: 100%
   • Weekly limit: 0%
   • Credits: ~250

4. Continue using Codex normally (multiple requests)

5. Observe that:

   • Usage continues to work normally
   • 5h limit remains at 100%
   • Weekly limit remains at 0%
   • Credits do not decrease

6. At some point, credit balance increases unexpectedly:

   • Example: 250 → 1250 (+1000)

7. Verify:

   • No auto top-up transaction recorded
   • No payment method charged

8. Disable auto-reload

9. Observe:

   • Quota values remain unchanged ("stuck")
   • Still able to use Codex normally
