Rapid and abnormal Codex quota depletion for Pro users
Paid users are experiencing unexpectedly fast drainage of their 5-hour and weekly Codex quotas, even after reported fixes. This leads to significant productivity loss, with some users reporting that the actual useful work time is far less than the advertised limits.

my quota started draining much faster than before. This happened after the reported fix, not before.
The weekly qouta started running out after just a small bug fix for Pro if I use 5.4 or 5.5.
the limits run out very quickly.
the service suggests that I can work with code for up to 5 hours, but in practice I got around an hour, or even less, of real useful work.
