Root Cause

Impact: The current meter display is misleading because it shows remaining Spark quota that cannot actually be used.

What issue are you seeing?

Issue: GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark appears to be blocked by the general Codex quota despite having a separate Spark meter.

What I observe:

  • My general Codex quota is exhausted.
  • My GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark meter still shows available quota.
  • However, when I select/use GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark, it is still blocked due to quota.

Why this is confusing: OpenAI’s public/product wording suggests Spark has separate model-specific limits and should not count against standard Codex limits. If Spark still depends on the general quota being available, the UI should make that explicit.

Expected behavior: Either:

  1. Spark should remain usable while Spark quota remains, even if general Codex quota is exhausted; or
  2. The UI should clearly state that Spark quota is separate but still requires general Codex quota/access to be available.

Impact: The current meter display is misleading because it shows remaining Spark quota that cannot actually be used.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Exhaust your general quota, leave Spark quota available, and then try to use Spark.

TL;DR

The GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark model is being blocked by the general Codex quota despite having a separate Spark meter, suggesting a potential issue with quota management or UI display.

Guidance

  • Verify that the Spark quota is indeed separate from the general Codex quota by checking the official OpenAI documentation or support channels.
  • Test the behavior with a non-exhausted general Codex quota to see if Spark works as expected.
  • Consider providing feedback to OpenAI to improve the UI display of quota information for Spark models.
  • If the issue persists, try to use a different model or wait for the general Codex quota to refresh.

Example

No code snippet is provided as this issue appears to be related to quota management and UI display rather than code.

Notes

The issue may be due to a misunderstanding of the quota system or a bug in the UI display. Further clarification from OpenAI support or documentation is necessary to resolve the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Use a different model or wait for the general Codex quota to refresh, as the current behavior is unclear and may be subject to change.
