What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

Version 26.422.30944 (2080)

What subscription do you have?

Business

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 23.6.0 arm64 arm

What issue are you seeing?

I just upgraded to the Business plan so that I could use Codex. Installed it, added some plugins, and issued my first prompt to use the Google Calendar plugin to create an appointment on my calendar. It didn't even finish. It crapped out saying that I hit my usage limit. Locked out for 5 hours, and I'm now at 87% usage for the week. From one prompt!

This is unacceptable, and surely has to be a bug. I have watch YouTubers building multiple apps, websites, videos, and more in less than 2 hours. And I can't even add a calendar appointment? What gives?

What steps can reproduce the bug?
