GPT Pro User Confused by Codex Limits: 5-Hour Cap Hit While Weekly Use Only 47%
galtoramech8699 · reddit · 2026-09-07
A ChatGPT Pro ($20) user posted asking how Codex pricing works: his account shows 17.48 credits, the five-hour limit 100% used, and the weekly limit only at 47% — yet he's blocked from using anything until the 12:25 PM reset, with a prompt to upgrade to Pro or buy credits.
He asks whether credits apply to all models, whether he can use Codex or voice chat at all before reset, and how voice fits in outside Codex. The post captures typical user confusion and frustration over ChatGPT's stacked credit/hourly/weekly limit system.
