Having same issue with Plus membership

Having same issue, I thought my subscription is expired, but I have just subscribed recently

Same issue with my ChatGPT Plus account. I logged out and logged back in, still not allowed in.

Me too, Plus membership

Did you try revoking the the CLI key and regenerating? Just a thought.

Pro plan, the same. Re-login does not help.

Update: The issue is resolved for me.

I’ve tried that, but it hasn’t worked.

For me Codex has started working again without any additional action taken.

I also have the same Issue on the Plus plan.

Even with the team plan, starting today it suddenly stopped working completely.
No matter how many times I log in again, it tells me to upgrade and I can’t use it.
But when I check with /status, it says my plan is “Team.”

same result!

me too and before that I was capped at 1 -2 messages on Plus.

Also gemini cli free tier allows much more back and forth requests with pro model before switching you to flash.

Edit: I use the latest version of codex.

same result!

gone after a 3-4hrs seem like limits, bun codex web works as expected

The same issue is occurring with my Codex as well.
I’ve tried various things, such as deleting the token, but it hasn’t improved.

Also having this issue with Plus subscription

Fixed for me by waiting a day.

Was happening to me, so I signed out of ChatGPT website and signed out of the VSCode extension, then I picked a different sign-in option: I picked "Sign in with Google" and it worked this time.

Kinda sucks how they're encouraging everyone to use one shared login for everything, this is basically Internet ID.

I solved this by editing ~/.codex/auth.json and setting "OPENAI_API_KEY" to a new value, which was null.

Mine was already null, but deleting the file and reauthenticating worked! (Even though relogging alone did not work)

This misreported plan is addressed by PR #7610. The fix will be in the next release (0.66). The underlying problem was that we were using the plan mode that was encoded in the cached access token. This can be out of date if you change plans. We now access the plan from a separate endpoint, so it's always fresh.

I have this problem. Status says I'm on Plus plan, but any command gives me this message. I deleted .codex folder to no avail. I'm on Windows.

Update: logout in browser didn't help, even though Codex did a re-login. But logout from Codex CLI did. It's working now.

same issue here
