User says Codex agent burned $2,500 in credits without permission or warning
Yamapama · x · 2026-10-13
A user reports their $2,500 (62,500 credits) OpenAI promotional credits were consumed by a Codex agent without any request or warning. The user says Codex's own chat analysis confirmed they never gave explicit permission or clicked the credits button—they were saving the credits—and questions how the agent decided it was OK to use them: "Imagine this was my credit card!"
