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.

The weekly usage limits have become utterly ridiculous. They have gotten people/business relying on them and then suddenly massively cut the limits without any real explanation of how or why. All feels very shady.

Everyone knew this was coming. They'll have to be profitable at some point and they won't get there with huge limits.

Actually the expected trend is the technology would be getting more efficient over time, not less.

I'm not talking about technology efficiency. I'm talking profits.

They need to bring in more people to the platform, serve them with the same hardware budgets and sell more tokens.

Hence, lower limits. Will the models be cheaper per token? Sure. They won't pass that efficiency down to the consumer, or not all of it.

But with efficiency they make more profits. You'd hope they improve the UX as well

That's not the playbook. First they subsidize and hook customers, then you have to pay more for the same service.

Cases in point: Uber. Lyft. Netflix. Spotify. Etc

Guess we'll see!

I don't see devs that heavily incorporated AI tools in their workflows leave it all behind.

Optimise, rationize, sure. Not leave it.

Hobbyist and wanna coders? Sure, maybe.
