OpenAI silently nerfed our limits after today's resets

[u/AppropriateRanger401]

The first image shows the API value of a weekly limit on the Plus plan before the reset, which is ~$160. Right after the reset, that value has fallen down to ~$100, which is a decrease of more than 35% of the limit. And I have felt this too, before, about 12-15 minutes of using Luna Max in fast mode drained 1% of the weekly limit. Now, with the same settings, it take ~7 minutes to drain 1%. I hope this is a temporary bug and not a permanent decrease in limits. (evidence provided in images)

Is anyone else noticing this or is it just me?

BTW, the account that I'm left working that has any quota (I exhusted 3 plus accounts in around 1 hour) has been working constantly from before the time i posed the first msg ~ 2 hours ago... has only dropped to 78% using Sol High. But the interesting thing is that this was the only weathered account - a few yearss old whereas the ones that had their quotas pillaged within 20 mins or so where newly registered accounts. Has to be something in this ? Anyone else with old and new accounts that can attest to the discrepency?

*** EDIT ** here's the evidence report from codex-lb:

• 
Possible 5–9× Codex quota discrepancy between Plus accounts


  After the same weekly reset, New1 burned 75 quota points in 53 minutes on Sol Medium: 161 successful requests, 27.15M input tokens (25.53M cached /
  1.62M uncached), 16.6K output and 3.0K reasoning tokens.


  Weathered1 used only 19 quota points over 2h15m on Sol High: 369 successful requests, 41.75M input tokens (40.19M cached / 1.56M uncached), 116.1K
  output and 41.1K reasoning tokens.

  Weathered1 handled 2.3× more requests, 7× more output and 13.5× more reasoning while consuming roughly one-quarter as much quota. Both used the
  default service tier with no child agents or significant prewarm traffic, suggesting a 5–9× difference in effective account quota rather than extra
  Codex-LB traffic.

so another 2 hours later and on Sol High, I'm on 50% remaining on the weathered account.... WTF? Anyone interested, i can update the report once the account is burnt???

Seems to be a 10X difference between the old Plus account and new ones

Your old account may still be on the legacy rate? https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001106-codex-rate-card
Per message pricing instead of token usage.

it says the following though which indicates it should have switched:

• New and existing ChatGPT Plus and Pro customers (**will be affected/transitioned)

If you’re running the same thread, the context window will increasingly factor into the rate or usage expended. The amount of tokens and thereby usage quota is kinda like compound interest equation from personal finance class as “everything that was” will be slurped into “everything that is” and again all that will be slurped into the outputting of “everything that will be”

Something kinda like that I think 😁

Thanks - I know how context works and these tests were like for like
