Bug Report: Weekly Limit Increased to 100% Without Any Usage

Subscription: Plus (10x promotional period) Platform: Codex Date of occurrence: May 4–5, 2026

What happened

On the morning of May 4, 2026, my weekly usage was at 70% with a renewal date showing May 7. I did not use Codex at all for the next 2 days. On May 5 evening, I returned to find my weekly usage was now at 100% with a new renewal date of May 12. No tasks were initiated, no agents were running, and no sessions were open during that 2-day period.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Steps to reproduce

  1. Use Codex on the Plus plan until weekly usage reaches a partial percentage (e.g. 70%)
  2. Note the renewal date shown in the usage panel
  3. Stop using Codex completely for 2 or more days — do not initiate any tasks or open any sessions
  4. Return and check the weekly usage panel
  5. Observe whether the usage percentage and renewal date have changed without any user-initiated activity

What is the expected behavior?

Expected behavior

Weekly usage should remain at 70% with a renewal date of May 7, unchanged, since no usage occurred between May 4 and May 5.

Actual behavior

Weekly usage jumped from 70% to 100% with the renewal date shifting from May 7 to May 12, despite zero usage during that period.

Impact

The 30% remaining quota I had not yet used was not available upon return. Whether this is a metering bug, an unannounced system reset, or a display issue is unclear — but the end result is that paid quota appeared to disappear without corresponding usage.

Please investigate what caused the usage and renewal date to change during a period of zero activity.

TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by investigating and adjusting the usage tracking and renewal date update mechanisms in the Codex App to prevent unwanted changes during periods of inactivity.

Guidance

  • Review the usage tracking logic to ensure it correctly handles periods of inactivity and does not increment usage percentages unnecessarily.
  • Investigate potential issues with the renewal date update mechanism that could cause it to shift without corresponding usage.
  • Verify that there are no background processes or automated tasks that could be consuming quota without user initiation.
  • Check for any unannounced system resets or maintenance windows that might have affected the user's quota.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not contain sufficient technical details to create a relevant example.

Notes

The root cause of the issue is unclear, and further investigation is needed to determine whether it is a metering bug, a display issue, or another problem.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Monitor usage and renewal dates closely, and report any further discrepancies to support, as the issue's cause is not yet understood and may require a fix from the Codex App developers.
