What issue are you seeing?

The weekly limit dropped by 4% in the new chat on an empty project after the first prompt "Hi" and 8k tokens used. and this is not the only case: this behavior started yesterday and my weekly limit dropped in 2 hours of normal work from 100% to 22%.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

019dd844-21c2-79c2-9567-8677bc103bee 258k 5.5 high

What is the expected behavior?

Typically, this amount of work takes up 2-3% of the weekly limit, even on a new model.

TL;DR

The issue may be related to an unexpected token usage calculation in the new chat feature, causing the weekly limit to drop more rapidly than expected.

Guidance

  • Review the token usage calculation logic in the Codex App to ensure it accurately accounts for the new chat feature's usage patterns.
  • Verify if the issue is specific to the new chat feature or if it affects other features as well.
  • Check if there are any known issues or updates related to token usage calculation in version 26.422.71525.
  • Consider reaching out to the Codex App support team for further assistance, as the issue may be related to a bug or an unexpected behavior.

Notes

The issue seems to be specific to the new chat feature and the provided version of the Codex App, but without more information about the token usage calculation logic, it's difficult to provide a more detailed solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Monitor token usage closely and adjust workflow to minimize the impact of the rapid weekly limit drop until a fix or more information is available.
