Codex usage limit is reached too quickly, even with ChatGPT Plus

Yes, I’m seeing the same issue.
I’m also using Codex (via the CLI), and the usage runs out very quickly — even with just a few prompts. It makes it hard to use for real development work where you need multiple iterations.
This really needs to be fixed as soon as possible. Right now it feels like we’re paying for tokens that we can’t effectively use, which is not acceptable at all.
