GPT 5.5 Codex Quota Drains Quickly

Yesterday my engineers drained all 13 business accounts that we have within half day. Then i allowed them API access. Take a look how much did one task costed for us with GPT5.4 model on Medium reasoning. 8$ for 1 TASK! This is absolutely nuts. We are most probably going to leave Codex, this is becoming way to expensive and not really possible to work anymore fluently.
