Codex Rate Limits Discussion Thread

I currently use two ChatGPT accounts: 1. personal plus account 2. business account i noticed something very strange in codex while using between these two accounts. I asked the exact same question using the same model, gpt 5.5 medium, the prompt was very simple, something like: "change the title on the frontend to … " on my personal plus account, this kind of general question usually consumes less than 5% of the 5-hour usage limit However, on my Business account, the same type of request easily consumes around 10–20% of the 5-hour usage limit. For slight more complex tasks, my plus account usually consumes around 10% ish, but my business account consumes 30–50% or even more everytime from one single question. this has happened multiple times, not just once. I already contacted OpenAI support, but the replies were copy-and-paste responses, or no response at all LOL like fully ignore my message. the support team definitely not know whats going on, felt like talking to npc and when i asked about tokens burning so fast, they ignored (Hello Lance yup you ). has anyone else experienced this issue with codex usage being much higher on a business account compared to a plus account? I would appreciate any explanation
