Hi everyone, This topic is for discussing Codex limits after the move from message-based usage to token-based usage. Additionally the 2x rate limits promotion has ended and some users have reported hitting limits sooner after this change. This is the right place to compare experiences, share what …

@Sasha123 from my understanding its a new policy, its not a bug, its working as intended. However, as soon as these changes gets rolled out to all other users, there will be no users left as its that bad, no one will be paying for the service.

That doesn’t change what I’ve said. I have never even reached 70% of my limit despite coding every day (despite a small period OpenAI claimed a bug was draining rate limits) It was inevitable that these rate limits would be tightened to reflect the actual cost of service.

All good, was just trying to state the fact that it wasn’t “all” accounts which was reset, which again leads to unfairness etc etc.

The main point is that people affected by it shouldn’t confuse it with something that was related to the issues in this thread that have been raised. We humans, tend to quickly assoicate such patterns too quickly.
