What issue are you seeing?

I have weirdly increased consume on my PRO plan. I used to work a lot with 5.4 x2 speed and 5.3 and never reached more than 50% of the weekly usage, even tho I am coding every day. Now for the first time I see 5% of usage left, and the renewal expected May 5, so in 3 days, which is weird since I have not started to work more, I have switched to version 5.5 x2 speed.

is this a usage bug, or version related?

TL;DR

The increased consumption on the PRO plan may be related to the recent version switch to 5.5 x2 speed, and verifying usage patterns or checking for any new features that could be contributing to the increased consumption is necessary.

Guidance

  • Review the features and settings introduced in version 5.5 to see if any of them could be causing the increased consumption.
  • Compare the usage patterns before and after the version switch to identify any changes in behavior that could be contributing to the increased consumption.
  • Check if there are any known issues or bugs in version 5.5 that could be related to the increased consumption.
  • Consider reaching out to the Codex App support team to report the issue and ask for their assistance in investigating the cause of the increased consumption.

Notes

The issue may not be solely related to the version switch, and other factors such as changes in usage patterns or new features may be contributing to the increased consumption.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Monitor usage patterns and adjust settings or behavior as needed to mitigate the increased consumption until the cause can be determined and addressed.
