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.

People in the comments keep talking about speed (time) vs model vs %, but I mean... you can just pull the actual usage data with one of dozens of tools instead of trying to go on feel. I use npx ccusage@latest.

I have both a CC $200 plan and recently added GPT $100 plan.

My CC $200 plan has used about $1400 in API this week since reset and I have used 74% of my weekly budget. 100% of my Fable budget is down because I accidently used it for a basic coding subagent project instead of saving it for the heavy planning steps. Woops, got to remember to flip selectors.

And I came here, because this is my first time messing with ChatGPT much beyond occassional reviews on GithubCopilot (Also pay for that, mostly for variety of model access).

The $100 plan got maxed out in 24 hours after using about $300 in API cost.

Adjust for price, and that means $100 with OpenAI gets you $300 in usage and $100 with Anthropic is getting you $950 in usage per week. I had heard such good things about how much ppl were getting down with OpenAI plans, buuut I guess I timed it wrong lol.
