Codex Pro quota draining abnormally after the reported usage-limit fix
OpenAI Developer Community
June 30, 2026
Hi everyone,
I’m currently on the ChatGPT Pro 5x plan and I’m experiencing severe Codex usage drain on both my 5-hour quota and weekly quota.
What makes this confusing is that my usage was normal for the first few days after I bought Pro. Then, after OpenAI said the Codex usage-limit depletion issue was fixed, my quota started draining much faster than before. This happened after the reported fix, not before.
I was planning to upgrade to the 20x Codex usage tier next month, but now I’m hesitant because I don’t know whether this is a temporary issue or not.
I’m not running unusually large tasks compared to before. The same type of Codex work that felt normal earlier now appears to consume a disproportionate amount of both 5h window and weekly usage.
Has anyone else on Pro experienced this after the incident was marked resolved?
I would especially like to know:
* Whether others still see abnormal quota drain after the reported fix
* Whether this could be account-specific metering or rate limiting
* Whether Pro users were moved to a different Codex usage calculation recently
* Whether OpenAI Support has confirmed anything for anyone affected
I wanted to ask here because the issue directly affects whether upgrading to 20x is reliable.
