Hello, I have an active ChatGPT Plus (Pro) subscription, but I am facing a serious issue when working with the GPT-5 Codex model in Codex IDE. After just a couple of hours of active use, I get a message saying that I’ve hit my usage limit and can’t continue working with the model. At the same time…

Hi there! Which IDE are you using? and how many requests are you making in those couple of hours?

I added the official Codex extension for Cursor. I make around 10 requests in a couple of hours, since the models take a lot of time for reasoning.

From that error message you are getting, it seems you have not linked your cursor to your Pro account, if you notice the “upgrade to Pro message” There should be a be a link account option you can select.

i got this message “You’ve hit your usage limit. To get more access now, send a request to your admin or try again later.” using team plan. (workspace) with codex. I had to log out and login again and it started working. though i checked my usage and it was fine.

There must have been a silent update to how Codex tokens works as of today, I have been using this no problem since release and today mysteriously I am now hitting usage limit reached and I didn’t even have that many tasks today. Time to start looking for an alternative to Codex I guess.

I ran out of quota earlier today on the “Plus” plan. So I bought the Pro plan and 32 requests later I’m out of quota again. I reckon I could buy 10 Plus subscriptions for the same price and get more quota than one Pro subscription.

Speaking of limitations, it’s just a nightmare, that is, I literally won’t be able to use the Codex for 3 whole days, I don’t understand why I’m even paying money if I can’t fully use this technology
