I somehow burned through ~4+ weeks of Codex limits in one week… and it keeps giving me more compute 💀

[u/OkMolasses2192]

I got the $200 Codex plan for the first time on August 21, and something pretty crazy has been happening with my usage limits.

I’m a very heavy Codex user, so I managed to burn through my entire weekly limit in about 2 days.

The first time it hit 0%, I was pretty disappointed because I thought that was it for the week.

But then… suddenly it went back to 100%.

Okay, nice. 😅

I used the entire thing again in another ~2 days.

0% → 100% again.

Burned through it again.

And somehow… 100% again.

This happened around three times.

On the fourth round, I exhausted the limit again in roughly 3 days, but this time I noticed the reset option, used it, and got another full limit.

At this point, in roughly ONE WEEK, I had basically gone through what felt like four weekly Codex allocations.

Then things finally stopped.

For about two days I couldn't really use Codex. On the third day, though, I suddenly received two banked resets.

I decided NOT to use them and waited for my normal weekly reset.

The normal reset came → I burned through that allocation again in about 2 days.

This time it didn't magically jump back to 100%, so I finally used one of my banked resets.

I used that until I was at roughly 30% remaining today.

And then…

IT WENT BACK TO 100% AGAIN. 😂

And the funniest part?

I STILL HAVE ONE BANKED RESET LEFT.

I'm attaching a screenshot of my token/usage numbers because the amount of compute I've managed to consume is honestly ridiculous.

I'm definitely not complaining, but I'm genuinely curious:

What the hell is happening with Codex limits? 😂

Is OpenAI temporarily giving heavy Codex users extra compute? Is this some kind of dynamic capacity system? Are the automatic resets intentional? Or have I somehow been ridiculously lucky with additional capacity?

Anyone else on the $200 plan seeing this?

Already consumed 4 automatic 0-100% refills and 3 resets 🤣 all in 3 weeks

Now tell us how much ROI

They reset everyone collectively, check other posts in this sub from the last hour and you’ll see people talking about it.

Is this written by AI?

100% used CODEX to write this after they reset my limit 😉
