OpenAI quietly walks back Codex run-past-quota policy a week after touting it over Anthropic

@jdjohnson comments on OpenAI walking back the policy that Codex prompts keep running after you run out of usage: he doesn't blame them — it always felt too good to be true — but notes the odd timing of retracting it just a week after bragging that they offered it and Anthropic didn't, plus quietly going back on banked resets. A simple "people were abusing it" would go a long way, he argues.
