One prompt asking Codex desktop app if it could see a tab open on my browser cost 6% usage now (worked for 53s) wtf. I rarely run into usage issues before, now my 5h limit usage only lasts around 1 hours (one time 10mins all gone). I thought the plus tiers is not enough so I bought additional business tier for two seats, felt like magic.. pooof and everything’s gone.. no more usage for you sucker.
