It is just me, or has Codex started gouging or just plain broken.
Yesterday I paid $48 to purchase extra credits for a critical project this weekend.
However this morning is has reported that just today it has not only used all my 5 hour budget from my Plus subscription, but also all of the credits I purchased - and I’ve only put 8 queries to it (x4 agents).
Typically I have been able to submit around 100 (x4) queries per day. The 8 queries were no different in scope or general description than any other I have put for the past 6 months and it’s also working on exactly the same codebase.
Obviously with this I will most definitely be cancelling my subscription to OpenAI and will move to a different coder as I can’t rely on them when the chips are down, it’s pretty irritating as this weeked is the culmination of years of work for which I will be set back months if I can’t pass this hurdle, but is there a way to at least get a refund on this crappy money-burn by Codex?
Check this post. Others are having issues too. Open AI support commented and said they had a problem with output tokens calculation and are rolling back some changes to resolve. They will reset peoples usage for who was affected.
You need to check the posting before from me. It happened Friday already, then it seems, OpenAI rolled it back on Saturday. Now today on Sunday, it is like on Friday again with the 3-4 requests before you hit the limit
Been saying this since their mess up on Thursday and they claimed it was a “bug”, hilarious they couldn’t smoke test something like this.
I found an alternative and it’s been great. If OpenAI can’t fix this, my sub will expire this month – sad because I’ve been subbed for almost a year and have been using Codex since launch. I really don’t think OpenAI cares either, it’s seems to be about the money for them on this one.
Same on Plus. Since yesterday’s Codex “Usage” rollout, limits feel broken: 8 tasks already count as 60% of my weekly cap, and 3 cloud tasks drained the entire 5-hour window. I’ve hammered Codex for six months and never hit limits — even with heavier workloads. This looks like a metering regression/misclassification, not intended behavior. So, I hope this is not new reality.
What the hell, just finished my “weekly usage” !
Lol… in 2 days + i bougth a 5$ more token and can’t use it… what’s the point ! (And i’m suppose to have 100k tokens …)
I didn’t even realize there were limits with the exception of the CLI codex until now.
And now it appears the CLI version is less expensive… I think… this is really difficult to guage…
I mean…
It looks like I’m getting charged anywhere from $0.50 - $2.00 to run a codex task…
And… you know… the reason I’ve been using this tech so much is because I’m having zero luck in the job market, so I don’t have a bunch of money to throw at this… I guess so much for using it to build something to make money… gotta be gatekeeping even here… geez.
UPDATE: The help chatbot told me to file an issue on the opanai github… github dot com/openai/codex/issues… so i did.
Hi all - thank you again for your patience while we worked through this. We just shared an update here with this message:
"We’ve fixed a number of issues with tracking Codex cloud task usage, with more efficiency improvements for cloud tasks landing soon. To thank you for your patience, we’ve granted $200 in free credits to Plus and Pro users who used cloud tasks in the past month, valid until Nov."
Please do let us know if anyone is still seeing any issues here and we'd be happy to take a look.
It continues to malfunction, and no restoration or compensation credits have been provided. It is clear that this will be the new standard for limits, which will likely cause many users to cancel their subscriptions.
as i read alot ppl push tasks alot, so servers get “loud” alot.
its said, u better think 20mins to concentrate on your Q and what u want, not just push button like monkey. Now we got “banned” for money style.
Im ok with it, abit weird i cant complete all my jobs, but it is how it is
