OpenAI Codex Users Report Quotas Drained Rapidly, Quality Complaints Mount

Multiple OpenAI Codex Pro users report that their quotas are being consumed abnormally fast, with some hitting limits in 20 minutes or burning 80% of weekly quota in a day, while heavy users found the $200 Pro plan lasts only about 12 hours. Complaints about declining code quality are also mounting.
