What issue are you seeing?
I’m experiencing abnormal usage consumption in Codex. After a single context compaction, my 5-hour usage allowance dropped by about 10%. This seems unusually high for one automatic compression step.
What steps can reproduce the bug?

I have the same issue since yesterday. I can't use CODEX for more than 5 minutes. I open it, and I am at 85% already.

Same issue. Codex still appears to consume usage limits unusually fast after the reported fix. I’m on Codex app version 26.623.12021 on Windows.

Same here, my usage is abnormally high.
According to Codex I used almost 30% of my weekly Pro(x5) quota within a single day. This is in stark contrast to my usage the weeks before. I used 99.5M Tokens on week of Jun 28 (this week) AND I was using a free reset on Sunday (28th) AND I was granted a free reset, BUT still I am already down to 71%.
Last week I used 633M Tokens on week of Jun 21st, the week before I was using 405.1M Tokens on week of Jun 14th, and both weeks DID NOT reach the weekly Limit at all.
Please look into this!

Exactly this, same for me

I don't understand. Do they work on the issue?
