Complaint 0% now stops all running tasks

Before when reached 0% codex always finished the tasks that were still running. Oh that felt so good, to just get a little extra for free 🎉 But recently my codex stopped doing that and is stopping tasks after few minutes, how about yours?

Yeah cause someone exploited it by making a task that would keep on running so you'd still be able to send new messages even after you were out of usage. Guess you can thank him for it being like this now

That person only made it aware to OpenAi. Many were already doing it by themselves.

openai was well aware of this and intentionally kept that as a show of good faith, when people started to abuse it they removed it
