OpenAI pauses Pro subscriptions, leaving a Codex power user stranded after 10B tokens

Developer andimarafioti reports his 6-month Codex Pro grant ran out exactly while OpenAI has paused new Pro subscriptions — so he can't re-subscribe even if he pays. He says he's heavily addicted, having consumed 10B tokens.

The post underscores both Codex's stickiness with power users and the gap OpenAI's Pro subscription pause has created for users whose grants expire mid-pause.
