Feature request

Please bring back a visible usage / remaining limit indicator directly under the Codex app chat, like it was before.

Right now the limit is too opaque: users can run into usage limits while actively working without enough warning, and the remaining quota/reset time is not visible in the place where the work is happening. That makes Codex harder to trust for longer development sessions.

Expected behavior:

  • Show current usage or remaining messages/percentage in the Codex app/chat UI.
  • Show reset time for relevant windows.
  • Keep it visible near the chat/status area without requiring a separate settings page or command.

Related but different from #15281, which focuses on CLI /status//statusline. This request is specifically for the Codex app chat UI.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Displaying the usage limit indicator directly under the Codex app chat may require modifying the UI to include a visible counter or gauge showing remaining messages or percentage.

Guidance

  • Review the Codex app chat UI code to identify where the usage limit data is currently being processed or stored, to determine the best location for displaying the indicator.
  • Consider adding a small info panel or tooltip near the chat input field to show the remaining quota and reset time, keeping it concise and non-intrusive.
  • Evaluate the feasibility of integrating a dynamic gauge or progress bar to visually represent the usage limit, making it easier for users to track their progress.
  • Investigate if there are existing functions or APIs that provide the necessary usage data, which can be leveraged to populate the indicator.

Notes

The implementation details may vary depending on the specific technologies and frameworks used in the Codex app, and may require collaboration with the development team to ensure a seamless integration.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Modify the Codex app chat UI to display the usage limit indicator, as this would directly address the user's concern and provide a better experience.
