Codex CLI Reportedly Burns Through Quotas via Polling
ssh4net · x · 2026-07-10
A user highlighted a bug in Codex CLI (and potentially the app): during wait/polling phases, it repeatedly resends roughly 170,000 tokens of context, rapidly draining usage quotas.
The poster believes this stems from a design flaw in code-mode's wait/yield or a regression in model/tool policy, rather than standard model inference costs.
