What issue are you seeing?

My 5-hour usage limit was consumed extremely quickly: it went from 0% to 100% in about 20 minutes, even though I was only running a light workload.

It feels like I were on a Plus subscription, rather than the $200/month Pro plan.

TL;DR

The issue may be related to incorrect subscription plan detection, causing the 5-hour usage limit to be consumed quickly.

Guidance

  • Verify the subscription plan configuration to ensure it matches the expected Pro plan with a $200/month limit.
  • Check the Codex CLI version (0.125.0) for any known issues related to subscription plan detection or usage tracking.
  • Review the uploaded thread (019dc546-0442-70e1-9527-531b7f58d1a8) for any clues on the usage pattern that might be causing the rapid consumption of the usage limit.
  • Compare the usage patterns with the expected behavior of the Pro plan to identify any discrepancies.

Notes

The issue lacks detailed information on the usage pattern and the expected behavior of the Pro plan, making it difficult to provide a definitive solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Verify the subscription plan configuration and review the usage pattern to identify any discrepancies, as the issue may be related to incorrect subscription plan detection.
