Root Cause

This should mean that there must be a refresh at some point, and then I used 43 percent of my tokens from then on. But there's no way that this happened because then it should show in my 5-hour limit as well, since it is not even when my old 5-hour limit refresh time yet (so there's no way that it refreshed and disappeared).

Fix Action

Fix / Workaround

I observed some weird behavior. I began some minor bug patching work at 80% weekly limit or so(at 19:00 or so), which was supposed to refresh at 4.17, and the 5 hour refresh time should take place at 00:00 tomorrow. After the work was finished, I was astonished to find that my weekly limit had gone down to 57%(which is very incredible in and of itself). What's more, my 5-hour limit was not showing, and my weekly limit refresh time has been postponed to 4.20.

This mean that openai basically canceled about half of my weekly usage out of nowhere. Please fix

What steps can reproduce the bug?

see above

What is the expected behavior?

That my weekly limit shouldn't reset or vanish

Additional information

I will post a screen shot of the web usage page on April 13th once it refreshed, right now it's showing me this.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue may be related to an incorrect or unexpected refresh of the weekly limit, and the user should verify the refresh times and token usage to understand the discrepancy.

Guidance

  • Review the token usage history to confirm if there were any unexpected refreshes or changes to the weekly limit.
  • Check the IDE extension settings to ensure that the refresh times are correctly configured.
  • Verify that the weekly limit refresh time is correctly displayed and updated on the web usage page.
  • Consider reaching out to support for further assistance in investigating the discrepancy in token usage.

Notes

The issue seems to be related to the IDE extension's handling of token usage and refresh times, but without more information about the extension's behavior and configuration, it's difficult to provide a more specific solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The user should manually track their token usage and refresh times to ensure accuracy, and reach out to support for further assistance in resolving the issue.
