   Update / correction:

   I may have partially misread the usage UI. The panel says "Usage remaining", so 5h 97% and Weekly 100% probably meant I still had plenty of quota left, not that usage was exhausted. The VS Code status bar appears to show the opposite style of number, which may have added to my confusion.

   I have also found what may be the more likely cause of the stalled Codex turns/processes: Windows Defender repeatedly blocked/removed the Codex Computer Use helper as:

   Trojan:Win32/ClickFix.DE!MTB

   Affected file:
   C:\Users<user>\AppData\Local\OpenAI\Codex\runtimes\cua_node\1b23c930bdf84ed6\bin\node_modules@oai\sky\bin\windows\codex-computer-use.exe

   My local checks:

   • Authenticode status: NotSigned
   • SHA-256: F2B2F56FCD1699B0FA32DEC3214A56A1D36B937A2ECF58CC822AB4A904551E03
   • File size: 1,691,648 bytes

   This appears to match the existing Codex issue here:
   #31419

   So my revised view is that the quota/reset issue may have been a UI interpretation mistake, while the actual stalls may be related to Defender removing the bundled Codex Computer Use helper. I have not allowed the Defender threat and have not added broad exclusions.

   do you actively use the computer-use thing? I understand why you might be confused with the
