Used Codex Plus for 20 minutes and already hit weekly limit without hitting 5 hours one. Normal? #21047

What issue are you seeing?

I switched today from Claude to Codex with a Plus account.
After about 20 minutes, I hit my weekly limit. Why didn’t I hit a 5 hour limit first?

With Claude, my usage lasted much longer. At the beginning of the week, I would usually hit the 8-hour limit rather than the weekly limit right away.

Right now it feels like I wasted €20. Is this normal?
