Codex user says usage suddenly dropped to 0%, then bounced back to 35% minutes after buying a reset: weird bug or dark pattern?
pwlot · x · 2026-09-10
A user reports his weekly Codex usage allowance suddenly dropped from 39% to 0% during an unusually high-usage period. He begrudgingly bought a reset, and minutes later his usage showed 35% — almost exactly where it was before.
He suspects a weird bug and says he's not amused. The complaint points to potentially erratic rate-limit or reset behavior that directly affects paying users.
