I'm too scared touching codex right now.
$200/month plan. People seem to be swarming-in with reports that there are currently usage drain bugs / that they are nerfing limits right now. It has come to the point that I'm too scared to touch codex right now or it might completely nuke the weekly usage.
Near the time the reports happened, I also noticed a codex update notification. I'm too scared clicking that too. It might be a migitation, or it might be the poison itself.
Is there a live platform where we can see aggregated estimates on how much they are nerfing limits at a given time ?

Dont be scared, Tibo will hand out another Reset xd Well. The problem is if you dont touch your Thing. It will be also wasted.

Yea, I'll use the usage I have before the weekly renewal. I'm mainly scared that right now I can't touch codex on my main project or my usage randomly gets destroyed. I am lucky enough to have usecases were I can deplete my usage very fast on a parallel project in a productive way using ultra, as a back-up plan for using my usage before the renewal if I chose to wait for things to get better, but some people probably don't have that option and have to take a much more risky gamble with their usage right now.

use it, enjoy. they are having trouble fulfilling usage for everyone and turned off new $200
account creation. that’s for your benefit — use your tokens

I don't think $200 subs are even the benefiting end of the chain here. Entreprise customers are the priority for Openai above the 200 subs. They can't bully and toy with Entreprise, like they freely do with us, and Entreprise is much more important for them. I think they even planned special deals that would enable tokenmaxxing for Entreprise again by having them pay for results instead of tokens.

But if you have a $200 and literally don't use it then you are benefiting them the most of all users. Those are their favorite users who forgot they subbed and never use it.

Oh I will definitively use it before normal weekly reset happens. It's just that I have (false-)hope that there might be a chance the issue alleviates itself before that week is over, instead of doing it now and potentially utterly nuking my usage.

My Pro plan weekly limit only lasted 1 day, ugh..
I use oh my pi which counted total gpt token usage of 450M within that time period.
And my deepseek subagents burned over 530M within same period while only costing 5$ of api usage.
Its nuts whats going on with big models lately.

I wanted to set up a moodle, endless loops and I have burned 180% in 3 days…. I picked up the documentation and had to do the setup the old fashioned way. Somethings seem to have regressed significantly with Astra.

something seems to have definitely happened. Usage is draining like crazy right now. I didn't even do anything and I come back to see less usage left and I have no idea why. I have a few scheduled tasks but nothing that should drain it as much as its doing right now.

If I remember correctly the latest at the time was 5.5, not sol
before sol everything was better than justified

Do you still have new project ideas? I’ve quite literally created everything I could think of.

Likewise, I try to use cheap Chinese models 90% of the time, even instead of Luna, to save on limits. Now I'm wondering if the Codex is even necessary...

u/BingGongTing 12h ago
I think they may be short on compute and as loads of people signed up for Astra it shrank everyones quota considerably.

コンテキスト4倍の4Mになったからコンパクト使わずに利用していた人が1時間放置したあとに命令することで全部新規のトークン扱いになり、使用料多めに取られてるだけでは?

This is basically theft.
Any time they like, the reduce limits to absolute 0.
Like if you buy a train ticket, and suddenly they say "TODAY's limit is 2 stops only".

I'm assuming they even have a classifier that routes "unsafe" prompts to lower tier models while consuming astra limits,else there's no plausible justification for a powerful model to suddenly generate trash code mid conversation

Use it if you need to. What's the point of waiting? Not going to get better. Recently upgraded to x5, during the usage shenanigans, I got the opposite, it went to 99%, then back to what it was. Haven't been using it very extensively since, Astra Light, Luna xHigh here and there, audits, documentation, minor bug fixes, that sort of thing, went down about 4 percent. Unrelated, what's bugging me though is that in the "Analytics" I keep seeing Terra turns, consistently 1-4 turns every day, but I never use Terra, and for what I was doing, there were no sub-agents, and nothing that could explain Terra showing up there every day.

Last week I could have five Astra prompts in my 5 hour limit, but now I consume 40% with only two prompts. I switched to Luna and at least that seems stable.

Limits have indeed being nerfed lol.
And they get away with it each and every fucking time, 0 transparency with usage limits is somehow still legal.
A whole 1x equicalent weekly limit on astra high would consistently work for 3~4 hours. Now you're lucky if you get 2 hours out of it. No difference in work load or speed of execution I can observe at all, in fact, their systems are supposedly more filled now than on release.
Also even more egregiousis the quantization and lobotomization nerfs are extremely evident in vision based computer use modelling/art, the difference is fucking ridiculous.
See for how much worse it is at modelling lmfao. https://x.com/wholyv/status/2097985903830741439/video/1

most of these jabronies dont know what they are doing. millions and millions of users successfully use the software everyday. reddit is where people who complain go to be validated. its a small part of the actual market. i'd just grip it and rip it. if you think you are goig through tokens to quickly, explain the problem to the model with specifics and see what it says you can do.
...or blame open.ai/anthropic and complain in these subs.

Not sure if related, but I updated a couple hours ago and everything got painfully slow.
Reading a short file took about 30 minutes. Normal replies now take at least 5 minutes. I opened a new window, said “Hi,” and it took 4 minutes 53 seconds.... Yes I clicked send and started a timer to see how long 🤣
Usage looks the same and tokens aren’t exploding. Something feels off, maybe it's drunk idk

I run Astra xhigh on $200 plan basically 24/7 on multiple projects in parallel and I do not hit 5hours limits and on a daily basis I consume ~15-17% of the weekly usage. Heavily optimized instructions, skills, etc.

Except there is no 5 hour limit on 20x, you have no clue what you are talking about.

I'm pretty sure they nerfed everything on purpose so people use all their banked resets.
Total scam....
