Codex credits are draining while idle / not actively used

Welcome to the forum! I also couldn’t find an active similar topic that seemed to cover this exact “credits draining while Codex is idle/ not running” issue. For billing/credit restoration, I’d recommend contacting the Help Center directly: https://help.openai.com/en You may also want to check the Codex rate card, in case it helps with understanding how credits are counted: https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001106-codex-rate-card That said, if credits are being consumed while you are not actively starting tasks, that sounds like something Support would need to investigate from the account/session side.
