Subject: Active ChatGPT Plus account cannot use Codex
My ChatGPT Plus subscription is active and paid (renewal Jul 7, 2026).
ChatGPT works normally, but Codex rejects every prompt immediately with:
“You’ve hit your usage limit. Upgrade to Plus to continue using Codex, or try again at Jul 7th, 2026 12:35 AM.”
My Codex usage page shows:
* 99% left for the 5-hour limit
* 100% left for the weekly limit
I have already:
* Logged out of all sessions
* Cleared cookies and site data
* Used an incognito window
* Signed back in
* Verified that Plus is active
The issue occurs on brand-new Codex conversations at chatgpt.com/codex.
This appears to be an entitlement/account synchronization issue rather than an actual usage limit.
