Codex Pro User Says Usage Limits Got 5-10x Worse, Can't Even Buy Another Plan
Junra · reddit · 2026-09-18
A heavy Codex user on Reddit details how their 20x Pro plan burned through usage at 5-10x the previous rate after reset, an extra 5x plan drained almost instantly, and OpenAI even blocked buying another 20x plan. Workarounds like dual-account orchestration, Chat on Steroids, and openrouter credits all fell short, forcing delayed client deliverables. The poster calls the reset system a compute-shortage load-balancing scheme disguised as a favor.
