Business workspace blocked "out of credits" after ~13 Codex turns — dashboard shows 0 credits/0 tokens

We’re a small team on a newly purchased ChatGPT Business plan (2 ChatGPT seats), using Codex via the desktop app. We’re hitting a workspace-wide block that doesn’t match the usage we’re seeing, and support guidance has been contradictory, so I’m hoping someone from the team or community can help clarify.

What’s happening

  • With very light use, our whole workspace gets blocked: “You’ve reached your workspace credit limit / Your workspace is out of credits,” sometimes cutting off a task mid-run.
    • This has now happened on two consecutive days.
  • The numbers (whole workspace, both users combined)
    • June 2: 37 Codex turns total
      • June 3: 13 Codex turns total (and still blocked)
        • Workspace usage export both days: credit_total = 0, on_demand_credits = 0
          • Billing: 2/2 ChatGPT seats (“ChatGPT and Codex, $25/mo”), 0 Codex seats, credits balance 0, no monthly usage allocations set.
        • Why this is confusing
          1. Support told us Business has a fixed daily Codex quota where only successful turns count and auto-review doesn’t — but if so, 13 successful turns exhausting the entire workspace’s daily allowance seems far too low and looks like a misprovisioned quota or a bug.
            1. Our admin billing page shows a banner: “Add credits so members can keep working without interruption” — which contradicts support telling us that adding credits does NOT raise the quota.
              1. The usage dashboard shows 0 credits/0 tokens consumed even while the limit is being enforced.
            2. Questions
              • What is the actual included Codex allowance per ChatGPT seat on Business (in requests/turns per rolling window)?
                • Is ~13 turns/day exhausting a Business workspace expected, or a misconfiguration/bug?
                  • Does adding credits actually restore Codex access on Business, or not? (The banner and support guidance conflict.)
                    • Has anyone else on Business seen the dashboard show 0 usage while being blocked as “out of credits”?
                  • Thanks in advance — any definitive answer on the included Codex quota for Business ChatGPT seats would help a lot.

Hey, @Info-Yingzhong, welcome to the community!

I lean more on the API, but I imagine the “turns” have different amount of tokens each run.

That said, there’s been changes to limits lately. Have you considered moving to the API?
