A user reported that OpenAI's Codex continued executing tasks even after triggering usage limits, running for over 9 hours in total.

The post interprets this as a deliberate design by the OpenAI team, provided it remains within "fair use" bounds. The user contrasted this experience with Anthropic, implying that such uninterrupted execution isn't a guarantee across all providers.
