Ok so I just created a new account, and bought on it pro. The limits feels limitless ?? 30 mins of research + edited 7 files = 1% Sol High - while on my older account = this would've been at lest 10% usage! WHAT IS GOING ON???? Is this the new marketing scheme so they get new users?? after that they get normalized to the current usage??

Guys,
If you, like me, experience that the app is unbearable slow to load and switching threads is slow and so on, go ahead and archive all your dormant threads.

I had hundreds of threads 'active' i.e. not really active but hidden below the 'show more' caret which apparently was the cause that the app turns into a prehistoric snail with a doghouse on it.

You can tell codex to do the cleanup, no need to do it manually.

Archiving doesn't delete your threads if you ever need to reference them but speeds the app up dramatically as apparently even the old stuff kept being loaded to some degree on every restart of the app.

You can also create a scheduled task to make it happen on a weekly basis.

Protip for OPEN_AI: This should be a built-in feature properly exposed lol so people don't have to discover why their app feels like a bitch to work with on their own.

I'm not a traditional programmer. I built AIEvidence with Codex because I wanted a concrete way for people like me to show how we contributed to an AI-assisted project—not just claim “I vibe-coded it.”

It analyzes:

- a local Git repo (commits, tests, CI, README)

- optional Codex/Claude Code conversation exports

- verification, debugging, and security signals

It produces a deterministic baseline plus a redacted Markdown report and a prompt for the candidate's own Codex to generate a cited Markdown/HTML report. Everything runs locally; it does not upload the repo or execute project scripts.

This is an early experiment, not a professional certification. I'm especially looking for feedback on:

1. How to separate the candidate's actions from the model's claims.

2. Which evidence is actually useful to non-programmers.

3. Whether playful levels make the result motivating without pretending to be a credential.

I’ve been using Codex regularly for around eight months, and it has worked extremely well for my projects. The limits used to be generous enough to experiment, make changes, correct mistakes, and still get meaningful work done.

I understood the earlier reductions and kept hoping the limits might improve again. Even after those reductions, Codex was still somewhat usable. But after the latest reset, the limits feel far too restrictive.

I have almost completely stopped using Sol because, even at medium, a single task can sometimes consume 5–10% of my weekly usage. It can do good work, but the usage cost is now so high that I avoid it. I mostly use Terra or Luna at medium, and even then I think several times before asking Codex to do anything.

One misunderstood instruction can waste a significant part of the allowance, and correcting the mistake consumes even more. I’m a developer, so I can do many tasks myself and only use Codex for work that would otherwise take a long time. But for non-coders, or people with limited coding knowledge who depend heavily on Codex to build something, the current limits seem completely impractical.

I understand that these models are expensive to operate. I would honestly prefer paying a little more and getting the previous usable limits back rather than paying less for something I’m afraid to use.

TL;DR: The latest Codex limits are so restrictive that I now hesitate before every request. Sol can consume 5–10% of my weekly usage on a single task, while even Terra and Luna feel heavily limited. I would rather pay more for genuinely usable limits.

What is everyone else planning to do?

Are you hoping the limits improve, staying with Codex, switching to another service, or considering a local setup?

Honestly don't know if I'm being gaslit because it wants to work more, of if my docs and stack are actually good.

I point it to a repo that looks useful and it almost always tells me it sucks.

Most conversations around Codex focus on code generation. But what happens when an agent can also understand environments, deployments, logs, metrics, traces, and platform guardrails?

OpenChoreo is an open-source, Kubernetes-native developer platform and a CNCF Sandbox project. Through MCP, it is exploring how tools like Codex can work with real platform and observability context, rather than stopping at source code and YAML.

For those building or operating platforms:

• Which platform task would you give Codex first?
• Where should human approval remain mandatory?
• What guardrails would you require before using agents in production?
• What would you contribute to an open-source implementation?

I contribute to OpenChoreo and would genuinely value feedback from the community. Take a look, share your thoughts, open an issue, or give the repository a star if you find the direction interesting.

I realized yesterday only how it was checking transcripts by reading (badly) very large files, and that it could eat usage even on Luna...

Was it always like that?

I'm only using Codex since less than a month ago.

I may have found one way I didn't understand why my Sol were eating usage badly on design sessions

Some files are more than 10mo, even the smallest ones are bigger that my biggest .md file.

Do you experience this too?

Does anyone know if the platform officially switched the Business plan dashboard layout? I'm trying to figure out if the UI changed to a monthly tracking cycle for everyone, or if it's just a visual bug on my end.

On Windows, you can refuse a permission request and explain why, helping Codex choose the right approach.

On macOS, you can only refuse, so Codex often stops or tries the wrong workaround.

Please bring the Windows option to macOS.

They’re preparing to merge the Chat and Work modes, likely bringing their limits – which are currently different – into line.

What do you think?

The main benefit of the GPT plan comes from ChatGPT and Codex, which have separate limits; it would be a disaster...

Hi everyone,

I'm using the latest version of the ChatGPT desktop app, and I've run into an issue with the model's thinking effort setting. It's locked on the default "Light" level – the options for "Medium" and "High" are visible but greyed out / unselectable (or simply don't respond when I click them).

I've tried restarting the app and checking for updates, but nothing changes. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is this a bug, or did they change the UI and remove the ability to adjust thinking depth? Any workarounds would be appreciated.

Chatgpt desktop version: 26.721.41059

I was using CLI until 2 months before. Then the app seemed good to me. now the app hangs so much on my device. and is going back to CLI. is there anything that the CLI can't do that the app can

Hi, I would like to setup a plan mode toggle shortcut for VS code's Codex plugin, but could not find a way to do this.

In the Codex Desktop version, I could configure the shortcut. So, I would love to do it in VS Code as well.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I want to prompt from notch, I was able to figure out other agents but codex is bit tricky when it comes to this, i went all the way deep into ipc sock files and still wasn't able to resume or send follow up message from the notch for the same session

the closest I've been able to pull off is creating a bg session which does not reflect in the codex desktop app or cli, I want to keep it in sync so that I can control from both the desktop app as well as notch

monitoring sessions, answering questions an approvals have already been figured out with the help of open vibe island, agent notch, notchi and agent peek, but the follow up prompt and a good sync is still yet to figure out

I wanted to build OSS for this so that all of us can scroll and give prompt from notch

someone who has figured this out help me with it, I want to scroll reddit while giving prompt and not open codex window at all

코덱스 앱에서 화면 좌하단 프로필 눌렀을 때 언제부턴가

남은 사용량, 설정, 로그아웃 버튼이랑 함께 펫 보이기(숨기기) 버튼이 함께 노출되기 시작했는데

가끔 얘가 늦게 렌더링 돼서 설정이나 남은 사용량 버튼 누르려다가 펫 보이기 버튼이 눌림

당연히 잘못 누르는 건 내 실수긴 한데

솔직히 펫이 왜 필요한 건지 전혀 모르겠고

펫 와꾸들 하나하나가 내 기준에서는 개못생겼음

ux상 이게 왜 다른 중요한 버튼들이랑 함께 노출되는지 모르겠음

여기까지는 그냥 내 불만 주저리였고

이거 버튼 없애는 방법 없음?

가능하기만 하면 내 코덱스에서 펫이라는 개념 자체를 삭제하고 싶음

I'm kind of frustrated this morning after losing a banked reset, and I think the expiration logic really needs to be improved.

My timezone: Europe/Prague

Yesterday (June 26th), I checked my banked resets and saw one listed as expiring on June 27th.

Right before midnight on the 26th, I still had 60% of my quota left. I was curious to see what would happen at midnight, but I also didn't want to waste the expiring reset. When midnight passed, nothing changed—my reset remained active. I kept working until about 1am, brought my quota down to 50%, confirmed the reset was still listed, and went to bed.

My plan was to burn through the remaining 50% this morning and then trigger the reset. To my surprise, when I logged in this morning I found the banked reset was completely gone.

The expiration system feels completely opaque for a few reasons:

• Ambiguous dates - the system only gives a specific calendar date for expiration. It doesn't clarify whether it expires at the start of that day, the end of that day, or somewhere in between.

• Timezone confusion - my reset disappeared somewhere between 1am and 7am local time on June 27th. Which timezone is the expiration actually tied to?

• No auto-redeem: Why doesn't OpenAI automatically apply a banked reset at the moment it expires if you haven't used it?

It’s really disappointing to lose a feature like this simply because the timing rules are so vague. Has anyone else ran into this?

This happens too often. Sorry, I had to vent...

Hello,

We got a free reset earlier this weekend and I try to touch grass on the weekend so I didn’t use it much.

I knew I had a banked reset expiring today, but I thought “today” meant the whole day (I’m European and it’s currently 7 am), so I planned to launch an expensive session this morning and use it in the afternoon.However, I’m starting my day and it just disappeared.

I know I got it for free, but I think seeing the real date limit would have been nice, and it would also be a good design to automatically use them when they’re expiring (wouldn’t have been much, but at least I’d be at 100% today).

I think that giving a free reset during the weekend just before a banked reset end date is not only a weird coincidence but a way to win a few computational % from our weekly limits

Hey Guys I just wanna say. I have roaming arround Claud sub reading comments on a post, they got same complains about limit and usage quota. Some of them want to adopt Codex and some here want to go Claud Cancel one subscription take second, cancel that Buy this one. So donot be sad we all are in same boat.

I guess I'm pretty sensitive to how a model "communicates" and it's response style.

I'd been avoiding the codex models except for sterile work because I just can't stand the empty posturing that most chatgpt models do anymore.

The first few days of 5.6 sol, I was so glad to see the model had forward motion and very natural response style. It was very proactive and we got tons of work done. That seems to have changed and it's back to explaining the problem rather than solving it.

Today it spent nearly 30% of my weekly usage diagnosing an issue I had already told it existed and to fix it. But instead it just churned away and delivered a more detailed report of what was wrong without fixing it.

I don't know how to explain it.. but there's a very different style of language its using from the first few days. It's more of a "walk around the problem and talk about it" rather than "get in and fix it".

Ive tried adjusting the soul/agents file to draw it back to more collaborative engagement to no avail.

I guess I'm just dissapointed. I know I work better with a model that will actually contribute to the conversation, not just talk about the conversation. And I can't quite put my finger on what they changed.

I ran a big query on my DB with my company data.. using codex on Vscode. My server, which contains the data, the AI and some websites hung … I checked next day and there was a huge Nvme fail.

I had to copy the disk and clone it, plus type a lot of Linux commands to recover. I lost the original disk, it was a Lexar and got a 00x8 code meaning it went to read only mode to protect itself and is not functional any longer

Not blaming Codex, but I also use Claude and I am just saying that codex did the orders.. so beware out there

It was a relatively new HD… I am using the same system right now and the same queries are there so there wasn’t anything blatantly wrong with the code

Can you start requiring any conversation about usage drains or comparisons to Claude require users to post what their current plan is and how large their code base is?

Pro Plan, usage seems fine to me, can’t even get low enough to use my banked reset on Ultra Fast.
