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
I’m surprised this issue isn’t being talked about more on Twitter. I don’t see anyone really complaining about it there, only here. Makes me wonder if the changes only affect a certain cluster of users. Doubtful but still interesting we don’t see more people flipping out.
Some clarity would be great.
I ended up going to the OpenAI support site and started a conversation with the support chat bot. Gave them the info on the issue and it said it would escalate it to an actual support specialist. Unfortunately it didn’t give me a ticket # or anything nor was an email confirmation sent saying a ticket was created. I have no idea if it even did what it said it would do. @OpenAI_Support , you should consider giving the user some feedback via email confirming issues have been escalated.
Is there an update on this?
How many days does it take for you to roll these back? Just wondering if I should move to a different platform for the time being, right now Codex is entirely unusable.
I saw a few threads but I’m also assuming X is dead and full of bots operated by the platform owner.
May be because they’re owned by ByteDance?
Loved Codex, used it for months and felt the magic. I told everyone about it and probably brought in 20+ developers to the ecosystem.
Now it’s completely unusable with these strict and non-transparent limits. Can’t even get one good PR without bugs with the limits, as the Codex code always needs 5-10 back and forth conversations to fix its problems.
I look like a fool recommending it to my developer colleagues now.
I’m moving off Codex immediately and recommending the same to all developers, as we can’t be held hostage like this when there are other substitutes.
Really sorry to see Codex fall so quickly, as it really was a magical tool.
BTW - The product manager for Codex should probably be fired. Can’t imagine the subscriber churn that’s happening this week.
I’ve spent a good portion of time getting codex to add a “why” comment to every method in my code so that other (possibly less capable) tools may have an easier time, and so I can make better sense of the code. It’s been a wake-up call.
And yes, I can’t believe the time it’s taking to get this fixed for good. Feels like there’s a lot of duct tape behind the scenes or lack of staff or something disfunctional going on. The least they could do is give everyone more credits. Maybe they’re doing some A/B testing and we’re the testers. Who knows.
Maybe we’re the power users and they used us as guinea pigs? Would make sense…
It’s incomprehensible. Two weeks ago, I had no issues with the limits. It was more than enough for my usage. Yesterday, I had to spend $40 plus all my weekly usage in just six tasks? 1,000 credits and more? This is ridiculous!
another one here waiting for update on this… or at least some clear communication
I don’t understand why you can’t just remove these faulty limits and polish these “new features” in your sandbox? Why should your entire paying client base suffer and be unable to complete their work? Why are you doing this? Instead of apologizing and reverting everything, you’re just torturing your clients for four days straight (and some even longer)! What’s wrong with you?![]()
OpenAI, what is even going on right now? These “new features” and limits are completely breaking the experience for paying users. People can’t even do their normal work anymore and it’s been days with no real solution or clear explanation.
How do you think it’s okay to test unstable changes on your live product while everyone else pays the price? Why can’t you just roll back whatever caused this mess and fix things properly before releasing new updates?
This isn’t some small glitch. It’s been affecting workflows, clients, and projects nonstop. It honestly feels like you’re ignoring your own users while we struggle to keep things running.
You need to stop this silence, take accountability, and actually fix what’s broken. Paying customers deserve stability, not experiments that make everything worse.
If the broken limits weren’t frustrating enough, OpenAI’s long delay in providing a solution or even a clear response -something as simple as “These are the new limits; it’s intentional” would do- has made the situation far more stressful than necessary. Some clarification is sorely needed in my opinion.
Ya’ll seen that Black Mirror episode right?
- Get you hooked onto the service with generous rate limits
- Introduce a more expensive tier
- Slowly strangle the rate limits of previous tiers
- Rinse and repeat step 2-4
They offer $40 to refresh your Codex limits. Makes it almost a no-brainer to use Pro, no?
How long until there’s a tier after Pro?
If you depend on Codex then you are successfully enfeebled. Capitalism baby.
