What issue are you seeing?

A simple git commit prompt used 11 % of my 5 hour quota. The commit was not large (16 files changed, 2199 insertions(+), 87 deletions(-)). Context window: 86% left (46.8K used / 258K). This is just absolutely unusable to do real work.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

TL;DR

The high quota usage by the git commit prompt with Codex CLI may be due to inefficient context window management, requiring a review of usage patterns or configuration adjustments.

Guidance

  • Review the context window size and its impact on quota usage, as the current usage (46.8K used / 258K) might be a contributing factor.
  • Consider optimizing the commit process or exploring alternative methods to reduce the number of insertions and deletions, which could help minimize quota consumption.
  • Investigate if there are any configuration options in Codex CLI or Ghostty that could help optimize the interaction and reduce unnecessary quota usage.
  • Check if the Business Pro subscription has any specific guidelines or recommendations for managing quota usage with Codex CLI.

Notes

The provided information does not specify the exact configuration or usage patterns, so it's difficult to pinpoint the exact cause without further details.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Adjust the context window size or commit process to reduce quota usage, as the current setup seems inefficient for the user's needs.
