Business workspace blocked "out of credits" after ~13 Codex turns — dashboard shows 0 credits/0 tokens
OpenAI Developer Community
June 3, 2026
We’re a small team on a newly purchased ChatGPT Business plan (2 ChatGPT seats), using Codex via the desktop app. We’re hitting a workspace-wide block that doesn’t match the usage we’re seeing, and support guidance has been contradictory, so I’m hoping someone from the team or community can help clarify.
What’s happening
- With very light use, our whole workspace gets blocked: “You’ve reached your workspace credit limit / Your workspace is out of credits,” sometimes cutting off a task mid-run.
* This has now happened on two consecutive days.- The numbers (whole workspace, both users combined)
* June 2: 37 Codex turns total* June 3: 13 Codex turns total (and still blocked)* Workspace usage export both days: credit_total = 0, on_demand_credits = 0* Billing: 2/2 ChatGPT seats (“ChatGPT and Codex, $25/mo”), 0 Codex seats, credits balance 0, no monthly usage allocations set.- Why this is confusing
1. Support told us Business has a fixed daily Codex quota where only successful turns count and auto-review doesn’t — but if so, 13 successful turns exhausting the entire workspace’s daily allowance seems far too low and looks like a misprovisioned quota or a bug.2. Our admin billing page shows a banner: “Add credits so members can keep working without interruption” — which contradicts support telling us that adding credits does NOT raise the quota.3. The usage dashboard shows 0 credits/0 tokens consumed even while the limit is being enforced.- Questions
* What is the actual included Codex allowance per ChatGPT seat on Business (in requests/turns per rolling window)?* Is ~13 turns/day exhausting a Business workspace expected, or a misconfiguration/bug?* Does adding credits actually restore Codex access on Business, or not? (The banner and support guidance conflict.)* Has anyone else on Business seen the dashboard show 0 usage while being blocked as “out of credits”?- Thanks in advance — any definitive answer on the included Codex quota for Business ChatGPT seats would help a lot.
