What issue are you seeing?

Hi, I've been using Codex since day one, but I now feel very disappointed. I burned through my 5-hour quota in less than 10 minutes this morning using 5.5 High in plan mode and 5.5 Low for implementation. About a month ago, it felt almost unlimited, but now I’m getting a Claude-like experience! Is there a bug causing this? Thanks

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Just use Codex

TL;DR

The user may need to review their usage patterns or adjust their plan settings to avoid exceeding the 5-hour quota.

Guidance

  • Verify the current usage patterns to identify potential causes of the rapid quota exhaustion, such as intense or prolonged usage of resource-heavy features.
  • Check the Codex App documentation or support resources for guidance on optimizing usage and avoiding quota limits.
  • Consider reaching out to Codex support to report the issue and inquire about possible bugs or recent changes that may be contributing to the problem.
  • Review the subscription details to ensure the Business plan's quotas and limitations are understood and aligned with the user's needs.

Notes

The issue lacks specific technical details, making it challenging to provide a definitive solution. The user's experience may be related to changes in their usage patterns, recent updates to the Codex App, or other factors not explicitly mentioned.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The user should attempt to adjust their usage patterns and review their plan settings to mitigate the issue, as there is no clear indication of a bug that can be directly fixed.
