“Codex Rate Limit 2 weeks” - I just noticed. Is there some info on this ? How does this effect the limits in detail ?

Why do you use sol for normal work? It is expensive

I would like to submit feedback regarding the recently introduced/restored 5-hour usage limit for Codex. I am a paying ChatGPT user, and I am unhappy with having both a weekly usage limit and an additional restrictive 5-hour usage limit. I understand the need for reasonable usage limits, and I can…

@platinumrock93 I don’t think they will remove the 5-h limit, as they need to control whole system load, kinda Fair Usage Policy, I have an understanding for such. But last few days, especially toady, my 5-h limit has exhausted by ±5 simple prompts with just a little local work with GPT 5.5 (mediu…

You can explicitly insist that it be escalated to a human, and explain that given the nature of the issue, you feel that only a response from a member of the support team would be meaningful. Then you can end by reiterating something like: “So please forward my request to a human support agent.”

I still have plenty of weekly usage left, but I’m blocked because the 5 hour bucket gets burned through absurdly fast during normal work. Today it ate through about 10% in roughly 2 minutes. I’m down …

Unlike other LLM CLIs, Codex is a bit weird in computing the 5 hour window. While others have fixed 5 hour windows, Codex computes it as a moving window from the time where the previous window went to 0%. How is this a 5 hour window? If I have other subscriptions and want to plan accordingly across …

Hi, is this your problem? The other party is talking about a negative experience they had; should they have consulted you about which model to use? If you like it, you use it; if someone has a problem, they can write about it here. Don’t be more royalist than the king.
