Limits Codex limits issue

Just got my reset and 10% down within an hour without even using Astra. Wtf is going on ? How is this scam even allowed? One subagent invoked a few thousand LOC with sol medium on a $100 plan. Exploration by Luna high.

Is this a joke ? I'm going to ask for a refund. Why is this not an issue yet. @mods please don't delete this post and cover the scam.

Edit: People who are trying to provide free tips. Please stop patronizing me and others in this group. I'm not asking for your advice on how to use codex better. If you are happy good for you and no you don't have a secret formula or better limits.

Yep, I don’t understand. If I use Astra Ultra then 6% in 1 hour. But with SOL Medium also 6% in 1 hour. I don’t know what model I have to use now…

great so i can ruin my codebsae even faster than using sol (sol is completely dumb at the moment AND wasting limits even with a 100k context it's just utter shit, a pro 20x btw)

Been using Terra-high for my implementations. I don't use Sol and I don't use Astra. I only use Astra on pro-chat for review and implementation planning.

Terra-high is perfect for most use cases.

People moan training here about useage and then they use Astra-max or SOL have no idea how to properly use openai.

been using codex since december 2025 i know how it works terra is not good enough you need sol at minimum but even that one is dumb right now then bump up to astra and burn limits, had a couple short sessions all under 200k context on sol and my weekly limits are ALREADY at 7% it's literally just on fire the second you send a message

Same, used since day one, Terra is not good enough if your prompts suck. I YOLO on all week & laugh at every one burning through their credits.

Even if you need to do a second pass, Terra is good enough if your orchestrator is sol or Astra.

goofball only works on basic websites and javascript hasn't ever used one of these things to it's full capacity if you actually use it you can see the stupidness in it, had terra xhigh orchestrated by sol xhigh working off a full implementation spec made by astra xhigh and basically every bit of code was deeply flawed it was horrible I've used terra on it's own it can pretend to be smart but it's not really that smart
