They announced “2x capacity until May 30”, but since that rollout Codex has become dramatically less stable for me.
I’m only around 50% usage and now I constantly get:
reconnecting loops
stream disconnected before completion
frozen thinking states
interrupted generations after 1–2 minutes
This happens on:
fresh chats
after rebooting my PC
stable internet
relatively small coding tasks
So what exactly does “2x capacity” mean if the experience becomes unusable before even reaching limits?
Right now it honestly feels more like throttling than increased capacity.
Are other people experiencing the same thing?
If I don’t get clarification or improvement quickly I’ll probably request a refund because reliability is the whole reason I pay for Codex in the first place.
