Codex Users Say Rate Limits Exploded: Nightly Tasks Burn $200 Plan in Days
joshalbrecht · x · 2026-09-26
Seth Lazar reports Codex is 'definitely broken': a set of scheduled tasks that used under 20% of his weekly rate on 5.6 now blows past 30% overnight even on sol medium/low. He argues automations are pointless if they eat a $200 rate limit in 3.5 days, and has installed codex router to switch to the API while planning to build a higher-capacity routing setup. In the reply, joshalbrecht pitches the mngr tool for abstracting over agent harnesses and teases a new UI project.
