Codex users report 5-hour limits exhausted in 10 minutes on simple tasks

A Reddit user reports Codex burning through its entire 5-hour usage limit in about 10 minutes on a simple coding task, with weekly usage dropping from 70% remaining to 4% in a day.
They also noticed GPT taking control of their browser without prior setup and suspect browser control consumes disproportionate quota, or that OpenAI quietly changed how usage is calculated. The post asks whether others are seeing the same and if an announcement was missed.
