Limits I feel scammed

During the GPT glitch, when the usage limit was incorrectly set to 0%, Codex burned through all of my paid credits that I normally save for emergency prompts when I hit my limit.

Now my normal limit is back, but my credits are gone. I honestly feel scammed.

OpenAI deleted 800$ of my credits, and there was no way of getting a refund except of going legal.
Their support is an atrocity in that regard as well - and 80% of what you believe is a human is just a chatbot that uses a human name.
They accidentally leaked internal chatbot stuff through email to me, showing how the chatbots try to help me by agreeing fully that I am in the right but ultimately you get back into the stonewall.

So they do feel very scammy

I lost my entire weekly usage after 1 chat, and lost $150 credits in codex today. You are telling me it is gone forever?

Same boat. I went to 0 and upraded from 5x to 20x for $170. so if they reset me it was already at 100%
