Codex eating your quota? A 1M-token context setting is killing your cache
altryne · x · 2026-09-27
The author traced sudden Codex quota drain to an old experimental setting: a 1M-token context window, which destroys OpenAI's cache and rips through limits. After removing it and moving sub-agents to a cheaper model, usage went back to normal. Lesson: check your codex.toml for leftover experimental settings.
