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.
