Codex users report suddenly tighter usage limits: one simple query burns 8% of 5-hour quota
crunchy-rabbit · reddit · 2026-09-16
A Plus subscriber reports Codex usage suddenly draining much faster this week. In a controlled test, the first task of the day — a single simple CRM query on Sol Medium effort — consumed 8% of the 5-hour limit and 1% of the weekly quota, whereas a week ago dozens of similar queries never hit the cap. The user suspects OpenAI quietly reduced allotments with no announcement.
