codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Proof that there's a bug depleting all my limits! [1 comments, 2 participants]

Environment:

• Windows 10
• Dell i7, 16GB RAM
• Codex Desktop App version 26.406.20454
• Model used: GPT-5.4 on High
• On Plus plan from 14 April 2026

What happened:

• First week was normal: Used the service intensively: No limits reached.
• Second week: All limits depleted within 2 days, while I barely used the service.
• This morning I started on a CLEAN 5-hour limit (before the end of the second weekly day). I only asked 4 EASY questions: (Side note: The 4 questions are Mac related, although Codex is running on Windows).

Detail of the 4 questions asked:

1. command not found: scons - Worked for 14s
2. scons: *** Invalid value for enum variable 'target': 'debug'. Valid values are: ['editor', 'template_release', 'template_debug'] File "/Users/Hennas/Desktop/godot-ios-plugins/godot/SConstruct", line 362, in <module> - Worked for 8s
3. scons: Reading SConscript files ... Auto-detected 12 CPU cores available for build parallelism. Using 11 cores by default. You can override it with the -j or num_jobs arguments. xcrun: error: SDK "iphoneos" cannot be located xcrun: error: SDK "iphoneos" cannot be located xcrun: error: Failed to open property list '/Users/Hennas/Desktop/godot-ios-plugins/godot/iphoneos/SDKSettings.plist' xcrun: error: SDK "iphoneos" cannot be located xcrun: error: unable to lookup item 'Path' in SDK 'iphoneos' ERROR: Failed to find SDK path while running 'xcrun --sdk iphoneos --show-sdk-path'. CalledProcessError: Command '['xcrun', '--sdk', 'iphoneos', '--show-sdk-path']' returned non-zero exit status 1.: File "/Users/Hennas/Desktop/godot-ios-plugins/godot/SConstruct", line 690: detect.configure(env) File "/Users/Hennas/Desktop/godot-ios-plugins/godot/./platform/ios/detect.py", line 114: detect_darwin_sdk_path(env["APPLE_PLATFORM"], env) File "methods.py", line 659: sdk_path = subprocess.check_output(["xcrun", "--sdk", sdk_name, "--show-sdk-path"]).strip().decode("utf-8") File "/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Library/Frameworks/Python3.framework/Versions/3.9/lib/python3.9/subprocess.py", line 424: return run(*popenargs, stdout=PIPE, timeout=timeout, check=True, File "/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Library/Frameworks/Python3.framework/Versions/3.9/lib/python3.9/subprocess.py", line 528: raise CalledProcessError(retcode, process.args, - Worked for 3s
4. When running this, it's asking for a password!: sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer xcode-select -p xcrun --sdk iphoneos --show-sdk-path - It didn't give the seconds, but it can't be more than a few seconds, because it responded quickly with this: That’s normal. sudo needs your Mac login password because it changes the system-wide Xcode command-line tools path.

When I asked another question, I got this response: Selected model is at capacity. Please try a different model.

• Changing the model does not change my limits.
• My 5h limit is at 99% after only these 4 questions!
• And my Weekly limit is at 96% after doing a small amount of work the last day and a half.

Since this is clearly a BUG, please reset my limits ASAP!
