Environment:

  • Windows 10
  • Dell i7, 16GB RAM
  • Codex Desktop App version 26.406.20454
  • Model used: GPT-5.4 on High
  • On Plus plan from 14 April 2026

What happened:

  • First week was normal: Used the service intensively: No limits reached.
  • Second week: All limits depleted within 2 days, while I barely used the service.
  • This morning I started on a CLEAN 5-hour limit (before the end of the second weekly day). I only asked 4 EASY questions:
    (Side note: The 4 questions are Mac related, although Codex is running on Windows).

Detail of the 4 questions asked:

  1. command not found: scons
    - Worked for 14s
  2. scons: *** Invalid value for enum variable 'target': 'debug'. Valid values are: ['editor', 'template_release', 'template_debug']
    File "/Users/Hennas/Desktop/godot-ios-plugins/godot/SConstruct", line 362, in
    - Worked for 8s
  3. scons: Reading SConscript files ...
    Auto-detected 12 CPU cores available for build parallelism. Using 11 cores by default. You can override it with the -j or num_jobs arguments.

    - Worked for 3s
  4. When running this, it's asking for a password!:
    sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
    xcode-select -p
    xcrun --sdk iphoneos --show-sdk-path
    - It didn't give the seconds, but it can't be more than a few seconds, because it responded quickly with this: That’s normal. sudo needs your Mac login password because it changes the system-wide Xcode command-line tools path.

When I asked another question, I got this response:
Selected model is at capacity. Please try a different model.

  • Changing the model does not change my limits.
  • My 5h limit is at 99% after only these 4 questions!
  • And my Weekly limit is at 96% after doing a small amount of work the last day and a half.

Since this is clearly a BUG, please reset my limits ASAP!
