Codex Rate Limits Discussion Thread
OpenAI Developer Community
June 11, 2026
My worst fear in starting to use Codex:
* growing too reliant on it
* becoming increasingly unable to maintain or understand my own codebase without it
* future OpenAI business decisions that “see what we will tolerate”
Well, here we are … already.
This is like a MMO doing this:
* $15/month subscription, play all you want
* the game switches to internal resource quotas (still charging $15/month subscription)
* in the middle of a fight it freezes and you get a popup:
“You are out of pathfinding messages, to continue character and NPC movement, add credits or upgrade to Pro Battle Pass today”
