Codex Rate Limits Discussion Thread
OpenAI Developer Community
May 22, 2026
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
