Please explain how 1 prompt used 100% of weekly usage $20 in usage credits and still didnt finish the task

I sent a Codex prompt in vscode before bed. I woke up to 100% weekly usage gone. $20 in usage credits gone had to login with another user profile on my business account and it used 96% of weekly to finish the prompt… wtf is going on with these usage limits?

Hey @patrickbinder, this one will likely require an account-side check.

The forum team doesn’t have visibility into usage limits or org-level settings, so the best path is to reach out to support@openai.com so the team can investigate directly.

When you email them, include:

  • Request ID
  • Timestamp of the request

That should give the support team enough context to trace the request and check what’s happening on the backend.
