Not sure whether anyone has noticed, but March 27 and April 1st we have had CODEX Credits reset. Between March 28 and March 30 it was absolute insanity, i run multiple Business accounts for a team and i was shocked that 5H rates went within few tasks, and weekly within half day.
Thank you OPEN AI for taking this matter seriously and fairly. 2 complete resets within short term.
Finally after using it now on (April 1st 2026) i want to say that this now finally looking really well and normal(fair). I already did like 30+ really deep tasks and was not able to hit 5H usage. On top of that weekly limits went down really realistically. Im normally mostly using GPT 5.4 and 5.3-Codex.
Based on my usage (heavy) - i would assume i can push weekly limits for roughly 2-3 days which makes total sense based how heavy my tasks are.
My point of this topic is to give a review to OpenAI team. Finally this is real and normal and it should stay that way. I hope you Open AI team can forward this feedback.
I hope everyone else have noticed differences since April 1st reset.
I am Business account + API user. But here i spoke about Business account user Codex credits.
Thanks for update! Great to hear - and as i mentioned above, it really feels great now. I can see that team can really develop fairly. Completed tasks vs credit usage is super good now.
I’m still seeing really crazy credit usage - a simple bug fix just ate up like 25% of my 5 hour usage which was super confusing. Anybody else still having issues?
I might be seeing the same. I started using Codex about 4 weeks ago on the Plus plan, and throughout that time until the last day or so, I never needed to check my usage. It felt unlimited, but it was for a small mobile app, so maybe I wasn’t pushing Codex as hard as I thought I was. In the last 2 days, I have blown the 5 hour limit very quickly and it felt like something has definitely changed. Last night it dropped from 100% to 91% in 7 minutes and I cannot think how I had not hit a limit before. I do see that Codex is now defaulting to use 5.4 rather than 5.3 which I was pleased about when I noticed. but now I’m not so sure. I have been using Medium thinking throughout. I’m using the Mac App. Could it be to do with the thread getting very large? I’ve now moved to a new thread.
