Reddit user test: old Codex Pro account burned through usage in 3 hours vs 26 hours for a new account
Only_Voice569 · reddit · 2026-10-18
A Reddit user ran a controlled test on Codex: same task, same docs, same single-agent setup, comparing a months-old Pro account against a brand-new first-month Pro account. The old account exhausted its usage in just 6.5 hours, while the new account lasted about 26 hours before hitting 3% remaining. The poster suspects platforms may be quietly throttling usage for long-term subscribers, a billing-fairness claim that has no official response yet.
