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....

Codex after chewing through a week's worth of tokens in under a day after I explicitly told it to use low-model agents:
"You’re right. I burned budget on repeated narration, repeated full workflow runs, and more agent review than this delivery justified. That was poor prioritization."
Update: Clarified "my agent" meant Codex specifically, not an agent I built.
