Root Cause

Because the summary and the bottom status chip both emphasize 5%, it is easy to misread the UI as saying that the 5-hour quota only has 5% remaining.

Code Example

剩餘的速率限制 5%
5 小時   23%   晚上 7:02
15%    429
---

剩餘的速率限制 5%

---

最受限額度:1 週剩餘 5%

---

Most constrained quota: 1 week, 5% remaining

---

本機作業:1 週剩餘 5%

---

本機作業 5%

What issue are you seeing?

This is a Codex App UI/localization clarity issue in the Traditional Chinese interface.

The rate limit popover currently shows a summary like:

剩餘的速率限制 5%
5 小時   23%   晚上 7:02
1 週     5%    4 月 29 日

Because the summary and the bottom status chip both emphasize 5%, it is easy to misread the UI as saying that the 5-hour quota only has 5% remaining.

However, based on the detail rows, the intended meaning appears to be:

  • 5-hour quota remaining: 23%
  • weekly quota remaining: 5%
  • the summary is showing the most constrained quota, which is the weekly quota

The values themselves may be correct, but the summary label and layout make it easy to associate the 5% value with the wrong time window.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Open the Codex App.
  2. Set the UI language to Traditional Chinese.
  3. Use Codex until multiple rate limit windows are visible in the rate limit popover, for example:
    • 5-hour quota remaining: 23%
    • weekly quota remaining: 5%
  4. Open the rate limit popover from the bottom status bar.
  5. Observe that the popover summary and bottom status chip emphasize 5% without clearly indicating that this value belongs to the weekly quota.

Actual behavior:

The UI can be misread as saying that the 5-hour quota has only 5% remaining, even though the detail row shows the 5-hour quota has 23% remaining.

The issue is not that the quota values are necessarily wrong. The issue is that the summary percentage is visually prominent but not clearly tied to the 1 週 quota window.

No code snippet is applicable because this is a Codex App UI/localization clarity issue.

What is the expected behavior?

The summary should clearly indicate which quota window the highlighted percentage belongs to. For example, instead of:

剩餘的速率限制 5%

it could say:

最受限額度:1 週剩餘 5%

or in English:

Most constrained quota: 1 week, 5% remaining

The bottom status chip could also include the quota window, for example:

本機作業:1 週剩餘 5%

instead of only showing:

本機作業 5%

TL;DR

Update the rate limit popover summary and bottom status chip to clearly indicate which quota window the highlighted percentage belongs to.

Guidance

  • Verify that the issue is specific to the Traditional Chinese interface by testing other languages.
  • Consider updating the summary label to include the quota window, such as "最受限額度:1 週剩餘 5%".
  • Update the bottom status chip to include the quota window, for example, "本機作業:1 週剩餘 5%".
  • Test the changes with different quota values to ensure the UI is clear and accurate.

Example

最受限額度:1 週剩餘 5%
5 小時   23%   晚上 7:02
1 週     5%    4 月 29 日

Notes

This issue is specific to the Traditional Chinese interface, and the suggested changes may not be necessary for other languages.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Update the rate limit popover summary and bottom status chip to clearly indicate which quota window the highlighted percentage belongs to, as this will improve the clarity of the UI without requiring a full version upgrade.
