Bug Report: Weekly Limit Increased to 100% Without Any Usage

Subscription: Plus (10x promotional period)
Platform: Codex
Date of occurrence: May 4–5, 2026

What happened

On the morning of May 4, 2026, my weekly usage was at 70% with a renewal date showing May 7. I did not use Codex at all for the next 2 days. On May 5 evening, I returned to find my weekly usage was now at 100% with a new renewal date of May 12. No tasks were initiated, no agents were running, and no sessions were open during that 2-day period.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Steps to reproduce

  1. Use Codex on the Plus plan until weekly usage reaches a partial percentage (e.g. 70%)
  2. Note the renewal date shown in the usage panel
  3. Stop using Codex completely for 2 or more days — do not initiate any tasks or open any sessions
  4. Return and check the weekly usage panel
  5. Observe whether the usage percentage and renewal date have changed without any user-initiated activity

What is the expected behavior?

Expected behavior

Weekly usage should remain at 70% with a renewal date of May 7, unchanged, since no usage occurred between May 4 and May 5.

Actual behavior

Weekly usage jumped from 70% to 100% with the renewal date shifting from May 7 to May 12, despite zero usage during that period.

Impact

The 30% remaining quota I had not yet used was not available upon return. Whether this is a metering bug, an unannounced system reset, or a display issue is unclear — but the end result is that paid quota appeared to disappear without corresponding usage.

Please investigate what caused the usage and renewal date to change during a period of zero activity.

    This occurs when we reset usage limits. We occasionally do this if we have an outage, to compensate users who were potentially affected.
