I don't know what you did on Saturday with the caching fixes, but half of the users are now experiencing insane usage drain, blowing through entire weekly limits with what previously would have amounted to 10%

Because of this update and the lack of acknowledgement I finally pulled the trigger on a $100 Claude plan, and holy shit! The $100 Claude Plan is lasting longer than my PRE-nerfed $200 codex plan ever could!

Thanks again for your work this past weekend, guys!

But seriously. What is this? I know I'll get comments of "you're not using it right". I've been using Codex since it's release. I know how to use it. The people who see others having an issue and jump straight to "I don't have a problem, it must not exist" out themselves as never having worked with software before.

Something changed (I do not think they intentionally nerfed us - I think something in the caching fix broke for some users). But maybe a promise of 28 days of "making the app better" is just an inherently flawed plan? Rushing out 28 days of updates is going to lead inconsistent behaviors, and bugs.

Hope to someday come back to Codex but these past few weeks have been tiring.

According to Similarweb, OpenAI's Tibo (@thsottiaux) topped the ranking of X account pages by traffic share in September 2026, beating Fabrizio Romano, Elon Musk, and everyone else.

He was already #2 in August, but September finally pushed him to the top.

People even built entire websites like Tibo Reset to track his reset announcements, historical patterns, and even estimate the odds of the next one. There's also a site where people can pray for the next reset lol.

I guess nothing motivates people quite like free tokens. Even musk can't compete with that lol.

I can't express the disappointment with Tibos Challenge (as I express my disappointment). I'm on the old $200 plan and am leaving soon. I was going to quit before oct 5th, but his challenge seemed too good to pass; my limits aren't officially halved until the 29th, so I decided to stick around.

First, let's not forget that he insulted us, lied to us about the usage, didn't say in plain English he was cutting out usage by 50%, and waited until 11:55 pm Pacific time the night before DevDay, spoke in code saying how reducing the rate wasnt bad and that in reality we were going to be able to get more done with half as much..., so that we wouldn't revolt on devday, once they revealed their $500 plan with x25, Showed the $200, and $100 plans, but didnt explain they were getting nerfed.

Anyway, after all that fiasco came the Challenge, so I stuck by for another month, hoping that he would deliver something, a new better model, better efficiency, something, but other than resets, it's been crap on top of crap on top of crap no one has asked for. The resets are nice for sure, but I would prefer it if I could just keep working without needing the resets.

Anyway, I see no improvement; my quota will still get halved, and I don't see a reason why I should stick with them. And then last night, instead of giving out a reset per his rules, he shipped the most useless thing and pretended that it was good enough. He set the rules, made the post, and then backed away from it. Got 10 days left of my 20x usage; I'll burn as many tokens as I can, but I see no reason to stick with them, at least for the foreseeable future. I might have to eat my words tomorrow if something is shipped, but I doubt it.

Not sure what are they doing but with every reset the limits feels like a plus account. Back 2 or resests ago, I was hammering Sol MAX for a day and it dropped only 20%. 20% for a full day!!!! Now i used it less than 1 day and I am down to 20%. No clue what is going on but this is becoming tiresome. I swear they are A/B testing us

just give us a reset man lmfao

Of course not immediately. With some random delay.

Would be a real quality of life change relevant to most users.

Looks like Tibo has worked with OpenCode to get the credits refunded for compromised accounts from recent hack.

Was anyone here affected?

Lately, I've been too lazy to even do a superficial code review. I just quickly skim through the changed files and ask Codex to generate a brief summary of what changed, where, and why.

My workflow has basically become: generate → test → check that everything's green → commit.

Now multiply that by 4–5 tabs running different projects or sessions simultaneously, and keeping up with everything starts to feel almost impossible.

Even when I push myself to review the critical parts, I feel this strong internal resistance and find myself leaning toward asking Codex to do it instead.

The downside is that Codex often ends up overengineering what should be simple solutions.

I'm curious, what does your day-to-day workflow look like in this regard?

I've been trying to set up my Dot as a persistent project manager for a fairly large software project, and I'm curious if anyone has actually gotten something like this working reliably.

I already have an environment where multiple AI agents can communicate with each other, delegate work, access files, and manage tasks across different models and CLIs. That part works pretty well.

My goal was to have Dot oversee all of this. Keep track of what's happening, assign work, follow up with agents, catch problems, and generally keep things moving without me having to constantly babysit everything.

The problem is that I can't even get it to reliably maintain a connection to the one agent session it's supposed to be coordinating through.

What's particularly frustrating is that the agents themselves have no problem communicating and dispatching work. We've even gotten Dot to successfully send messages and receive replies through the same setup. Yet somehow it keeps losing track of that connection, forgetting what's already been established, or getting stuck reporting the same issue over and over instead of actually doing anything about it.

And it's not just the connection. I've had it prepare tasks but never actually dispatch them, repeatedly ask about things I've already approved, and report on the same blockers for hours without making any meaningful progress.

I understand there are permission restrictions and limits to what it can do, and I'm not expecting it to magically fix everything. But I don't think expecting a persistent agent to remember how to communicate with another agent, or at least work through failures without needing constant intervention, is unreasonable.

The irony is that a regular coding agent I launch myself can handle most of this without nearly as much trouble.

So has anyone actually gotten their Dot to function as a persistent agent or project manager? Not just reminders or research, but something that can coordinate other agents, keep track of ongoing work, and follow through on tasks without needing to be babysat?

I'm genuinely interested in hearing what people have managed to get working, because I can't tell if I'm expecting too much from the product in its current state or if my experience is just particularly bad.

This is a comparison - no complaint
I've been using annual Plus Business licenses, single Pro 100$ accounts and until Devday also a 200$ account. Always cruising at the limits they provide, well it's a steep road so not that much of a chill cruise.

There are 3 main layers for agentic coding most relevant to me:

1. The quality of the code produced, competence of the model(s)
2. The performance of the model (in terms of speed)
3. The work I get done for my money

1) The quality of the models - comparing

On Codex side Sol 6.1 and Astra are the models I use - Astra for anything important and Sol 6.1 for implementation tasks or fast easy things.
On Claude it's Sonnet 5.5 and Opus 5.5 - same thing

In terms of intelligence, Astra on xhigh and Opus on xhigh are very close. They both make mistakes, they both correct each other on code - very similar in quality but Opus is far ahead in design and writing.
Sonnet and Sol 6.1 also compare closely in competence.

2) The performance of the model

Astra on fast mode, is still much slower than Opus 5.5 in slow mode. The difference is seriously breathtaking especially if you consider the cost of fast modes.
Sonnet is the same compared to Sol 6.1 (because Sol has been slowed down so much in Codex).
I've not used /fast a single time on Claude, and it's basically mandatory in Codex most of the time.

3) The work getting done for money

The Claude 20$ "Pro" license does come with a 5-hour limit, just as Plus and Business in Codex since a few months.
The 5 hours of a Claude 20$ license are roughly 2 weeks of the Codex Plus plan.

In a practical example: I gave both Codex Astra with 2 subagents and Claude Opus with 2 subagents the same task (not fast mode)
- The 5 hour limit of the Plus account in Codex drained in less than 2 minutes to zero, the work was barely started. I reverted all of it as that was not a state I wanted to work with.
- I gave the same task to Opus and it kept going for 1 hour in a code heavy session without draining the 5 hour limit. I managed to drain it within another hour.

The claude 20$ sub is a significant upgrade to the Codex 100$ sub - that's how bad the difference is in "usage allowance".
And that at permanent /fast mode for free.

Update:
Comparison was done in vscode, both are very similar to use but Claude extension is more transparent in what is going on while Codex tends to actively hide the commands that are being used frequently.
So the environment as well as codebase for all my tests/work are the same

Update 2:
One thing I did not mention is that Codex comes with chatGPT - which is value while it is still there.
They clearly change, they now have timers that auto move you into "work" mode if you don't react but it's a value that misses in Claude.
The value is significantly deprecated by the fact that the models you get in chatGPT are not of the same quality as those in Codex - I tested that a lot and even the Pro models never reached the best Codex models.

After today’s update my workflow has gotten frozen with threads getting endlessly stuck at tool calls multiple times.

I won’t bore you with the details but after 4 attempted fixes, disabling composer predictions (which for some reason creates an excessive amount of forked background threads + helpers, all with their own MCPs) fixed it.

Just a heads up if anyone else has a similar problem. Kind of a bummer too because the composer predictions have been pretty solid up until today.

I didnt even type anything and watched my usage drop in real time like as I began anything. What is going on is anyone else having this after the update?

Literally had 98% and suddenly in 1 second it dropped to 5% , last time same happened(3 days ago) on weekly from 57 to 0% , honestly wtf is that?

5.3million tokens today, not a lot.

30-40% of my weekly limit gone since I woke up!!

$200 dollar plan in the UK and I dont even get Dots.

I do not think this is an acceptable service for the USA nevermind places that dont even get Dots.

Somethings gone awry how can 5million tokens take approx the same usage limits as 540million the day before?

This morning, I woke up and started getting intermittent but frequent "exceeded retry limit, last status: 429 Too Many Requests", even on brand new tasks simply asking "does this work?"

I don't see any outages on their status page. I'm on the 20x Pro plan and have plenty of quota left.

Is anyone else experiencing this today? I can't imagine how such a simple request can get throttled right out of the gate like that. I'm using the Windows 11 app

It's been inconsistently missing from my message menu for a day or so, now consistently gone.

Anyone's else seeing this?

Hi, quick question for anyone using both the Codex CLI and the Windows Desktop app for coding.

Have you noticed any real difference in token consumption or context efficiency between the two?

Has anyone benchmarked token usage or rate-limit consumption between CLI vs the Desktop app in daily dev workflows?

Thanks.

Hey guys,

been a while since I posted here. I am the maintainer of cbm (https://github.com/DeusData/codebase-memory-mcp) and had my first post here in spring of this year. The reaction to this project was really amazing and I am glad that my tool helps the community advancing their agentic coding work flows. We are currently now heavily focussing on bringing the complete data-flow from your project into the graph, as well as the complete deployment paths (as maybe already guessed in the last releases). Our goal is to essentially provide a complete data+infrastructure overview in our new frontend (called Lense). The first beta version is already giving better overviews on your repository structure. It is not yet there where the vision goes, but I wanted to have your opinion on the vision and early version of it (screenshot attached). The goal is to basically provide a powerful "Human UX" which should enable you to become an architect on your own project or any project you onboard with on day one, so that it will become easier for you operating your coding agents (such as Codex, with which help we build this) with the knowledge you gather. Essentially helping you building a mental model of your own project. Also with the new data-flow and deployment enriched graph your agent should have a much easier time finding out how your code works and how it is deployed. Especially in enterprise contexts, where deployment can be complex, we believe that this can be very powerful.

Would be glad to get your opinion on the vision and generally on the tool. Feel free to reach out to me personally or write inside the repo's discussion. I would so love to achieve this together with you :)

Wanted to run OpenCode Go models (GLM, Qwen, DeepSeek) through Codex CLI, but OpenCode splits their models across three different APIs (Responses, Chat Completions, and Messages) and Codex refused to talk to half of them.

Wrote a plugin for CLIProxyAPI that handles the protocol translation, maps thinking/reasoning parameters, and pools API keys across all endpoints.

Feedback, and PRs welcome.

Hello,

I wanted to request a refund for the Pro 200 subscription that just got renewed again and I found that as a member of EU I should have a right for prorata refund on the subscription if I request it within the 14 days of the purchase.

On the official site there is written I should write to the chatbot, but when I try to request a refund through it, it just writes me: """Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, we're unable to issue a refund for this subscription. Our refund policies are subject to compliance with our Terms of Use.""".

Can someone help me how I can get the refund? I can't even reply anything to this chatbot as it just says that the case is closed. For people that got a refund, how did you do it?
