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…

Still have the problem since friday. My quota is changing from 0% to 100% and to 0% again after 1-3 messages is sent. Almost unusable.

[image] https://help.openai.com/en/articles/11369540-using-codex-with-your-chatgpt-plan This is how OpenAI describes Codex limits among plans, it used to be what it said, but not any more now.

i cancelled mine too, if OpenAI ever fixes this problem I’ll activate my subscription again. OpenAI has gotten too stingy with their quotas to the point where I can’t even use a service, I pay hundreds of dollars a month to use

No sens, i used 20% of my 5-hour quota, it uses 10% of my weekly quota. No sens, Can i only work 10 hours by week? On a plus subscription.

The problem remains unresolved. Consumption is still too high compared to a week ago. A simple change of 120 lines of code has used up 42% of my usage in 5 hours and 10% of my weekly usage with my pro subscription. It’s time to switch to Copilot or Zencode…

Appreciate the update! Hopefully Codex itself won’t reply ‘I’m sorry, but I’m not able to complete this task’ when your team tries to fix it :wink:

Can you reset everyone’s limits that have been affected? There is work I want to get done this week and now I cant.

Completely agree to this, it has been impossible to work

I am also having credit error with chatgpt business package
