Codex usage bug - codex immediately subtracted about 20000 credits


Hi, so I am honest user. I buy a lot of credits, then suddenly credits went from 1990 to these values. Who should I contact, to know what happened?

Artur

I send an email to OpenAI will keep you posted with the progress. I think everything was not working well last 2 days

No progress yet, still negative tokens but the sub is working from today mornign somehow and neither usage nor credits being consumed

Ok I have the first reply from support they are investigating

Ok still no follow up - waiting

still no reply from openai


Even In total it says we spent 16908 credits in last 6 months

I escalated this a day or so ago, but I did so again today through another route.

Has support not followed up at all yet after they said they were investigating four days ago?

Yes. I am not angry btw just asking for help. I understand the development is really rapid right now

Still Haven’t I received any response

Between April 13 and April 16, 2026, some usage was processed later than usual. That delay made some credit balances appear to deplete faster than expected or temporarily go negative once the delayed usage posted. Hence, there was no accidental usage of tokens, but only a delay in actual token usage being accounted for.

As a one-time goodwill gesture due to the confusion this caused, we’ve written off the negative credit balance on your account.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Ok I have the response. Thank you for help OpenAI!!!
