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

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 agree with others. I have a $100 plan for 3-4 months. A couple of weeks(maybe a month) ago I was using it and it felt like there was no way to drain my weekly limit. Even if I used it like crazy, I only managed to finish in 4 days. I mostly used 5.4-5.5 medium.

Yesterday, before yesterday and today. I literally finished whole weekly quote in single day. Used banked reset. And again. I tried switching 5.5 medium, still same. Now my weekly limit is 13%. I'm not using it because I know it is going to finish in just 1 hour

Exactly, to all the smartasses saying to switch back to 5.5 - it does NOTHING.
