Codex users blast OpenAI over opaque usage resets: 'tell us the limit and refill rate'
StewartalsopIII · x · 2026-09-21
Developer @buildwithrajath called out OpenAI's Codex usage reset system: users hit limits mid-task, babysit a countdown-style usage meter, kill unfinished agents early, avoid expensive prompts, and guess when their quota returns.
The ask is simple: a clear usage bucket per plan, predictable replenishment throughout the day, and optional purchased compute added to the meter — no surprise resets or usage anxiety. The post is resonating as a broader complaint about billing transparency in subscription AI coding tools.
