   We and our team are experiencing the same issue.

   We are using Codex CLI on GPT-5.4 with medium reasoning and Fast mode turned off, yet after only 2–3 very short prompts, the usage limit is reached and access is blocked for 5 hours. Weekly quota is also being consumed unusually quickly.

   Please investigate and resolve this issue as soon as possible. We would also appreciate appropriate compensation for the disruption caused.
