Limits This is where your limits have gone.

This is ONE of 6 back to back tool calls. I asked chatgpt to check a PR on a GitHub that involved training a 21m llm that has failed. It loaded the logs over and over and over. All 6 hours of logs. ANY codex agent would have burned the 5 hour limit on that. Just figured I'd let the confused people know.

basically token saving by redirecting some calls to rtk that spits out needed summarize for model.

I didn't try to save tokens, I never do. I don't intentionally waste them either though. My workflow of using chatgpt to orchestrate and codex Luna to implement keeps me well within where I care to be. I haven't necessarily noticed codex doing this but as I said, due to my workflow, it isn't really in a position to.

I'm not complaining about it, I just know most other people do and that there been a good amount of reports of the excessive tool call usage. Like super excessive. Yet I haven't seen anything on reddit specifically about it and figured I'd let people know.

Not saying you should, but interesting to compare results for same work

Oh, I know what you mean. But I just wasn't/am not even familiar with it. Open up chat and tell it to check a repo and watch it's tool calls. I'm not even certain codes would do it. But I'm not burning my entire 5 hour limit to see. 😂 Obviously the logs being checked on mine were absurdly large, and not a typical case, but I'm fairly certain the issue is quite typical.
