What issue are you seeing?

Since upgrading to Codex v0.130.0, we have observed a significant increase in quota/usage consumption compared to previous versions under nearly identical workflows.

Issue

Before upgrading, our normal usage pattern (same working hours, similar prompt sizes, similar review/refactor workloads) resulted in approximately 50% of our weekly quota remaining after a full week of usage.

After upgrading to v0.130.0, we now hit:

the 5-hour limit substantially faster and the weekly limit within approximately 2–3 days

This behavior started immediately after the upgrade and appears reproducible across multiple sessions.

Expected Behavior

Usage/quota consumption should remain relatively consistent between versions when workload characteristics remain similar.

Actual Behavior

Quota usage appears to have increased drastically in v0.130.0 despite:

similar prompt complexity similar repository sizes similar coding/review workflows similar daily active usage time Additional Context

Environment/workflow:

Heavy repository review usage Large PHP/Laravel + FiveM related codebases Frequent /review and refactor style prompts Same operational pattern as before the upgrade

Observed impact:

Previously: ~50% quota remaining after 1 week Now: limits exhausted within 2–3 days

What steps can reproduce the bug?

1. Upgrade Codex CLI/client from a pre-v0.130.0 version to v0.130.0.
2. Use the same repositories and workflows as before the upgrade:

• Similar prompt sizes
• Similar /review requests
• Similar refactor/debug sessions
• Similar daily usage duration

1. Continue normal usage for several days.
2. Compare quota consumption between versions.

Result With v0.130.0, the 5-hour and weekly limits are reached significantly faster (weekly limit reached in ~2–3 days instead of ~1 week with ~50% remaining).

Expected Result Quota usage should remain approximately consistent when workload and usage patterns are unchanged between versions.

What is the expected behavior?

Expected behavior is that quota/token consumption remains relatively consistent between Codex versions when usage patterns, repositories, prompt sizes, and workflows remain the same.

Under the same workload, we would expect:

Similar 5-hour quota consumption as previous versions Weekly limits to last approximately the same duration as before the upgrade No major increase in token/context usage without a corresponding increase in workload

Upgrading to v0.130.0 should not drastically reduce available usage capacity for identical day-to-day operations.
