Hello, I’m a Codex 20x user. Over the past few days, I’ve noticed something with Codex that has become increasingly frustrating. The weekly limits are starting to feel extremely restrictive. Back when we had the 5-hour limits, I was actually able to get more work done, and even when I used Codex …

So, days have passed, no acknowledgment from OpenAI, no resets given… ?! Ok, I’m not going to renew. What I get doesn’t justify the cost anymore.

You won’t get a straight answer exactly because of the current subscription model. Use Codex, Claude, as much as possible during this phase, while always preparing yourself for more restricted usage. The current deal for subscriptions is very subsidized. I can easily wager that people are spending…

I understand what you say, but we are not talking about free stuff. We are talking about a service people are paying between $100 and $200 per month! Reducing the usage without any warning is (if confirmed) not what paying customers expect.

Update with actual measurements after today’s scheduled weekly reset. Today two of my separate $200 Pro accounts reset to 100% at approximately 08:47. I immediately started one long-running production task on 5.6 Sol Ultra on each account. Pro account #1 08:47 — 100% ~09:50 — 89% ~12:50 — 60% ~…

A session of 8 hours!?! What was the token usage? Are you recording the actions that Codex is taking? I imagine with such a heavy workflow I would want some sort of model interjecting every so often to ensure alignment and efficiency. I think the longest I’ve ever had was an hour, and that was fro…

Yes — and that’s actually the important part. This is not a new workflow. I’ve been running essentially the same kind of long-running Codex tasks for quite some time. Previously, with comparable workloads, my weekly Pro allowance would typically last around 5–6 days. Today I had two separate Pro …

So, I have used my weekly limit in under 6 hours. I have been waiting to carry on a proyect until todat at 8:44 when my limit resets… before 3 o clock, and under 3 phases of the proyect, weekly limit gone again, unable to carry on untill the 27th… I used to get so much more out of it… so so so much …

Welcome to the community, @davidpc … I understand the frustration. What models are you using? Do you know how many tokens you’re consuming? Have you been following the best tips for Codex or just vibe coding? You could also look into the API or buying additional tokens.
