ChatGPT Plus Codex limits penalize honest weekend open-source use

If you only need to use two 5-hour quota windows within a few hours, here’s a useful tip. Suppose you start using Codex at 7 PM—your next quota refresh would normally be at 12 AM. You can set up an automated task in Codex to “warm up” the 5-hour window at 5 PM by assigning a lightweight task, such as summarizing a few international news headlines. This way, your 5-hour window will reset at 10 PM, allowing you to use two 5-hour quotas within a short period of time. Hope this tip helps!
