Codex Rate Limits Discussion Thread

OpenAI Developer Community June 9, 2026

I believe I may have encountered an issue with Codex usage limits. I started a coding task and then stepped away from my laptop. During that time, my screen turned off and the computer went to sleep. When I returned later, the task had still not completed, but my available Codex usage had been exhausted and now shows a reset date several days away. The task itself was relatively small, so I was surprised to see all available usage consumed without a completed result. It’s possible the task became stuck or continued running in the background after my screen turned off. If that’s what happened, it may be helpful for Codex to detect situations where a task appears stalled, disconnected, or inactive for an extended period and automatically pause or stop execution rather than continuing to consume usage indefinitely.
