What version of Codex CLI is running?

0.128.0

What subscription do you have?

Pro USD$200/mo

Which model were you using?

gpt-5.5

What platform is your computer?

Linux 6.19.12-100.fc42.x86_64 x86_64

What terminal emulator and version are you using (if applicable)?

Warp v0.2026.04.29.08.57.stable_01

What issue are you seeing?

My weekly usage rate in the Pro 20x plan is draining insanely faster than it was before the gpt-5.5 launch. The 5h quota seems to be unaffected, however. Besides, the status line is not updating the weekly quota.

I'm doing the same usual work as before. I was never ever able to get below 80% of my weekly quota even with very heavy usage. I'm now already at 19% remaining only and this wasn't even a heavy use week.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Uploaded thread: 019df3bb-3c5f-7861-b6c2-736d4dac1bc1

What is the expected behavior?

Usage quota compatible to the charged cost and intended professional heavy use.

TL;DR

The issue may be related to a change in the gpt-5.5 model's usage calculation, causing the weekly quota to drain faster than expected.

Guidance

  • Review the usage patterns and compare them to the previous model to identify any changes in behavior that could be contributing to the increased quota drain.
  • Check the Codex CLI documentation for any updates or changes to the usage calculation or quota system, especially related to the gpt-5.5 model.
  • Verify that the status line issue is not related to a caching or updating problem by checking for any errors or warnings in the terminal output.
  • Consider reaching out to the Codex support team for further assistance, as the issue may be related to a specific configuration or plan setting.

Notes

The issue seems to be specific to the gpt-5.5 model and the Pro 20x plan, so any solution or workaround may need to take these factors into account.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Monitor usage patterns closely and adjust workflows as needed to avoid exceeding the weekly quota, while awaiting further assistance from the Codex support team.
