Codex Finishes Current Step After Hitting Usage Limits, Saving Long Tasks
jdjohnson · x · 2026-08-02
The author praises Codex's quality-of-life feature that allows it to finish the next step of a goal prompt even after hitting usage limits. Previously, while running a long task with subagents using Fable, hitting limits abruptly stopped the subagents, resulting in a loss of 5 hours' worth of progress. Wrapping up ongoing steps before halting is crucial for complex workflows.
