Codex 5x users report odd usage drain: ~1% every 10 minutes and 10-day reset cycles
Andreeez · reddit · 2026-09-14
A Reddit user reports unusual OpenAI Codex usage behavior that started about a week ago:
- On the Codex 5x plan, weekly usage drops roughly 1% every 10 minutes during regular daily tasks (model 5.6, not heavy coding)
- With some coding on model 6.0, the weekly allowance was exhausted on day one, requiring a reset
- The next usage reset shows 10 days away instead of the usual one week
- The user says this never happened before and asks whether Codex has a bug
It's a single-user report without official confirmation, but if widespread it would mean a notable effective cut to Codex allowances.
