Pro users report weekly usage burning ~5% per prompt, a sharp drop from before
ParkingLotPhilosophr · reddit · 2026-10-17
A Reddit user reports that their OpenAI Pro subscription's weekly usage is depleting abnormally fast: after a reset, it dropped to 60% within about two hours of running just two Codex chats (Astra medium and 6.1 Sol). Previously, six parallel chats over several hours burned only 10%; now each prompt seems to consume roughly 5% of the weekly allowance, and they woke up to a fully depleted quota. The poster suspects the metering quietly changed and asks if others are seeing the same.
