Unpredictable and restrictive Codex quota limits for paid users
The current Codex limits are unclear and are consumed too quickly, breaking the development flow even for simple tasks. Paid users find the tool unreliable for consistent work and request more predictable access and better UI transparency regarding quota usage.

Codex limits are unclear, unpredictable, and in real usage the quota can disappear before meaningful work even starts.
A few small, focused passes burning through quota breaks any real development flow, even for simple tasks.
At this level, Codex becomes hard to rely on for consistent work.
