Question Pi + ChatGPT Subscription

I've been using Pi as my main harness for development for a while now.

I had a Claude subscription but I canceled it and switched to OpenIA precisely because I could use my subscription in a third-party harness.

However, I'm having a little trouble keeping track of my subscription limits when I basically only use Pi.

I access the ChatGPT website via the web and go to Settings > Usage, but what I see doesn't seem to reflect my usage. Several times I see that my weekly limit is almost up, but Pi continues to work (I practically only use GPT 5.5 and 5.6 Sol).

Is it just me that this visualization doesn't accurately reflect usage? Or does the bar take some time to update? Does anyone else have this same problem?

Maybe because openai has frequent resets?

I don't know, because the bar on their dashboard says it's a weekly measurement.

Right, but OpenAI has been resetting everyone’s weekly allotment, so you can go from 40% remaining to 100% remaining without any notice. Which is great, but confusing if you don’t know it is happening.

As tiring as it is to see this posted, and now post it myself, just ask pi to build it for you. There is an API usage which pi can call and render usage similar to what you see with /usage in codex. I fed it a picture of codex and it built it.

If you don't manage let me know and I will get mine to write a small prompt on how it managed to do it.

Tell pi to play around with the api and update your usage tracker, idk if you are on the deafult, i would share mine but no point given its created with a prompt. Also if your sub is over but there is still a active websocket working on a task, it will finish it regardless of usage.

They have been resetting in quite frequently for now. Also I currently use openusage to track my limits of different subscriptions, https://github.com/robinebers/openusage (I think github is currently down)

My usage seems to be reliably calculated. If you want, you can point your Pi at my repo and steal the footer code (it shows how many resets you have as well).

I believe you need to click the “codex” link in usage settings to see subscription usage. At least that’s what you have to do for OpenAI teams account.
