5h quota and weekly quota are consumed at the same rate unexpectedly #15039

What issue are you seeing?
I noticed that my 5-hour usage quota and weekly quota are being consumed at almost the same rate, which seems incorrect.
Based on my understanding, these two limits should operate independently:
- The 5-hour quota should reset on a rolling window
- The weekly quota should accumulate over a longer period
However, in my case:
- When I use Codex for a short period, both the 5-hour quota and the weekly quota decrease almost proportionally
- The consumption speed of both limits appears nearly identical
This makes it feel like they are either:
- Sharing the same underlying counter, or
- Being deducted incorrectly in parallel
This behavior is unexpected and may indicate a quota tracking or accounting issue.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Start a new Codex session
- Perform several tasks (e.g., code generation / edits / analysis)
- Observe quota usage in the dashboard (5h and weekly limits)
Observed behavior:
- Both 5h and weekly quotas decrease at nearly the same rate
Expected behavior:
- 5h quota should decrease based on short-term usage
- Weekly quota should decrease independently and at a different pace
Additional notes:
- This behavior is consistent across multiple sessions
- No unusually large prompts or context usage involved
What is the expected behavior?

Estimado, me esta pasando lo mismo, el limite semanal con el limite diario se consumen a la misma manera, no logro entender por que, voy variando en los razonamientos , desde medio a alto dependiendo de los requerimientos.
Pero aun así disminuyen al mismo tiempo, y uso gpt codex 5.3

Dear Sir/Madam, I'm experiencing the same issue. The weekly and daily limits seem to be consumed at the same rate, and I can't understand why. I've tried varying the reasoning, from medium to high depending on the requirements.
However, they still decrease simultaneously, and I'm using GPT Codex 5.3.
