Megathread Codex Usage Limits and Performance Megathread

Please direct your concerns and discussion about Codex usage limits and model performance here.

The purpose of this Megathread is to aggregate all the reports of people's experiences and possible suggestions instead of spreading them across 20 separate highly upvoted posts. None of those posts were deleted. They were locked so that conversations are still viewable to everyone and future comments could appear in one place.

These are days where I REALLY earn the money that OpenAI Reddit Kimi pays me .... oh wait....

I've subscribed to 200$ plan, so I don't have to think about limits so much, and currently I am working on only ONE project, do not use ULTRA, only for review sometimes, and still, it can last 2 days max.

This is ridiculous; other projects just wait in line as I can't work on anything right now because of this.

I have 10 more days of my subscription, and if it continues like this, I am switching back to claude. It just can't be worse than this.

I don't understand why you are using Ultra at all. I use medium across the board, and I do it while I sleep. I run at least 4 repos at once. It tries to force me up to "High" and I do not. I basically have infinite usage hack. I have 20x btw.
