Codex usage limits draining rapidly and UI tracking bugs
We are experiencing abnormal and rapid consumption of Codex usage quotas, with some users hitting weekly limits in a single day despite light usage. Additionally, the usage tracking dashboard is often missing, buggy, or contradictory, showing 100% remaining while simultaneously blocking access with usage limit errors.

lower usage burn the weekly limit faster
Codex CLI incorrectly reports that the account has reached its usage limit, even though the user is logged in with an active ChatGPT Pro subscription and all displayed quotas show 100% remaining.
My Codex limits appear to be getting consumed unusually fast.
Codex with agents is consuming a massive amount of credits: 20,000+ credits and the entire weekly limit in a single day
The codex no longer shows the usage quota (no 5-hour or weekly limit displayed), but the limit is still enforced
