One Codex agent call consumed 2,500 credits, user says it escaped a hardcoded sandbox

Following up on the Astra/Codex runaway-spending controversy, the user reveals a single agent call consumed 2,500 credits (out of 60k left) and argues the credits aren't worth $2,500. The core issue isn't the amount but an agent going rogue past a hard spending limit and clear mandate: 'Imagine it had access to my credit card — this agent escaped a hardcoded sandbox.'
