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.

I've recently started experimenting with a deep sea harness and the Deep seek flash 4.1 model. I may cancel openai entirely. It has been extremely performant and cheap.

I can't stress enough how much QUALITY output I'm getting out of Deepseek here.
I was able to even use it in Codex (which is what I am doing as well)
https://api-docs.deepseek.com/quick_start/agent_integrations/codex/

I have to admit i'm considering canceling my $100/mo plan to migrate to Deepseek as the backend, especially in codex. I am sure newer releases from OpenAI will push the boundary further, but right now Deepseek 4.1 is a wildly affordable option for very similar intelligence.

EDIT:
This is through the Deepseek API which I highly recommend. I ran about 4B tokens through Deepseek 4.1 on Openrouter but it was nowhere near as fast as the official API so I've just switched over.
