Hi everyone, I’m using Codex CLI v0.144.5 on a ChatGPT Plus account, and I noticed that the /status output no longer shows the 5-hour usage/session limit. It only shows: Weekly limit Credits Context window For example: Weekly limit: 0% left Credits: 341 There is no mention of the 5-hour/sess…

Tibo himself said on his official X account that the five-hour limit would be temporarily lifted.

Update: The 5-hour limits will be restored tomorrow. Additionally, the team put in some work to reduce token usage for GPT-5.6 Sol. [image] Tibo @thsottiaux Hello people of Sol! I've reset usage limits for all ChatGPT Work and Codex users. Together with that, a quick update on GPT-5.6 …

HI @VeitB Thanks I’m still facing the same issue. The 5-hour usage limit has not reset, even after more than 5 hours. I also don’t see any clear message showing when the limit will reset or how much time is remaining. This is currently blocking my work, and I’m quite disappointed because I can’t …

Hi @said.erraoudy ! I just saw that this has been postponed. But if I understand correctly, you are running into a bug where usage limits that should not be there are preventing you from using Codex?

They did that about 2 week after the 5.6 release, you should have 5 hours if you use 5.4 or 5.5, or that’s what support says. But you’re more than likely not using 5.5 or 5.4, 5.4 turns off on the 31st, and if you are not using Low reasoning - or 5.6 - you now get 5.6 Sol. [14733]

Hi @VeitB Yes, exactly. It’s a real blocker for my work. I completely understand having a 5-hour usage limit, but after those 5 hours I should be able to use Codex again once the limit resets. Instead, every time I hit the limit, I see a message saying it will reset in 6 days, which makes it impos…

Staff looked into this and pointed out that the weekly limits have been exhausted. I missed this earlier and need to correct myself. This is what you posted: [image] said.erraoudy: It only shows: Weekly limit Credits Context window For example: Weekly limit: 0% left Credits: 341 The ac…

Hi @VeitB I’m sorry, but this still does not clearly explain the issue. I have been experiencing this for more than a month. I use Codex for one development session, and then I am suddenly blocked and told to wait almost an entire week. It is difficult to understand how one normal session could co…

What does /status in codex-cli or Introducing Codexometer: keep track of remaining quota, session telemetry & model benchmarks! say now? The 5 hour rate limits have been switched off for the time being so only the most recent (weekly) quota period matters. There is a separate 5.3 spark quota for s…
