ChatGPT 5.5 limits in Codex

After many weeks of issues, finally the history of tasks got fixed together with the rollout of 5.5

When asked, I opted into using this, but sneakily this also set hid the intelligence you would normally see in the chat view into an options dropdown and also set the default to extra-high.

I was already wondering why I was suddenly hitting limits 2 out of 3 days. So please quit with these dark patterns and at least compensate the users for their used tokens.

Ok, it’s even worse then I thought. You even set it back to “extra high” in the background when Visual Studio restarts.

Seriously…
