Pro 20x weekly quota consumption increased dramatically after reset #40527

Open

Description

@Mydstiny

I’d like to report a possible issue with Pro 20x Codex usage limits after the latest weekly quota reset.

Yesterday, I used roughly $200 worth of Sol usage and my weekly quota dropped by about 20%. Before the reset, a similar amount of usage would normally consume only a little over 10%.

Today, I used only about $20 worth of Sol, yet my quota dropped another 4–5%. This suggests that my effective quota after the reset may be significantly lower than it was before.

I’ve been subscribed to Pro 20x for quite some time, and this is the first time I’ve seen my quota burn this quickly.

Could you please investigate whether the quota allocation or usage-accounting method changed after the latest reset? I’m also concerned there may have been some kind of quota rebalancing across Pro 20x accounts—for example, reducing quota on previously normal accounts while correcting accounts that had abnormally low limits.

I’m not claiming this is definitely what happened, but the change in consumption rate is large enough that I’d appreciate clarification.

Please check whether there were any recent changes to Pro 20x quota allocation or accounting, especially around weekly resets.

    Additional diagnostic information for this quota issue:

    Codex Feedback ID: 01a029e9-ae5c-7650-95b1-a1f1c211930c

    This feedback was submitted from the Codex session associated with the post-reset abnormal quota consumption described in this issue. Please use it to correlate the client/session diagnostics with the server-side quota allocation and usage-accounting records before and after the latest weekly reset.

    Additional note about the Codex feedback diagnostics: the app generated/displayed Feedback ID 01a029e9-ae5c-7650-95b1-a1f1c211930c, but the /feedback submission itself repeatedly reports that the feedback could not be uploaded. Therefore, the diagnostic payload may not have reached the backend even though an ID was shown. Please do not assume the logs are available solely from that ID. If there is another way to attach or retrieve the relevant session diagnostics, please let me know.

    My 5x subscription expired overnight, even though I used Terra and Luna the whole time. I don't know what they're doing, this is a complete scam.

    @lxjmaster I’m seeing a very similar pattern. Before OpenAI announced/fixed the recent reset/quota issue, my Pro 20x allowance behaved completely normally. Immediately after the fix/reset, my effective quota dropped sharply and started burning much faster than before.

    I can’t prove this is what happened, but the timing makes me wonder whether quota was rebalanced across accounts to correct users who previously had abnormally low limits, with some of that reduction effectively coming from accounts that had normal allocations before. In other words, it feels less like a universal fix and more like the problem may have been shifted around.

    That’s why I’d really like OpenAI to clarify whether any account-level quota allocation or rebalancing logic changed during the recent fix/reset, instead of only saying that limits are working as intended.

    Additional details for the affected runs:

    • Client: Codex Desktop
    • Model: GPT-5.6 Sol
    • Fast Mode: Off
    • Reasoning: xhigh

    OpenAI Support also checked the server side and confirmed the current weekly window is 43% used / 57% remaining. They additionally noted a 500-credit grant dated 2026-08-16, a current ledger balance around -156.71 credits, while credits available shows none/0.

    I have asked Support to compare my actual Pro 20x weekly entitlement / quota allocation before vs. after the latest reset, because the core issue is the abrupt change in burn rate despite the same general usage pattern: before reset, ~$200 of CCS-estimated API-equivalent Sol usage was only a little over 10% of weekly quota; after reset, ~$200 consumed ~20%, and the next ~$20 consumed another ~4–5%.

    I also asked whether the anomalous credit-ledger state has any effect on the included Pro 20x weekly quota calculation, or is unrelated.

    so i can use the r word happily ever after, a reset

    a reset now

    New data after another weekly reset: the quota burn rate has worsened again under the same configuration.

    Configuration remains:

    • Codex Desktop
    • GPT-5.6 Sol
    • Fast Mode: Off
    • Reasoning: xhigh

    After this latest reset:

    • ~$85 of CCS-estimated API-equivalent Sol usage consumed ~13% of weekly quota.
    • By ~$200 of CCS-estimated usage, the weekly quota had dropped by nearly 30%.

    I understand that CCS API-equivalent dollars are not a direct conversion to the included Codex weekly allowance. I am using the same estimator only as a consistent relative measurement across resets. The cross-reset pattern is now:

    • Before the recent reset issue: ~$200 -> a little over 10%
    • After the next reset: ~$200 -> ~20%
    • After this latest reset: ~$200 -> nearly 30%

    Within the latest weekly window, the ~$85 / 13% and ~$200 / ~30% observations are also reasonably consistent with each other, which makes this harder to explain as a one-off task-complexity fluctuation.

    I have asked OpenAI Support Case #13745369 to answer the key question directly: did my server-side Pro 20x weekly entitlement / quota allocation change across these resets, yes or no? If not, please inspect the server-side accounting history across the reset boundaries and explain the sharp change in burn ratio under the same client/model/mode/reasoning configuration.

    I’m seeing a similar concern on a $200 ChatGPT Pro plan, specifically with ChatGPT Work usage.

    Timeline (America/Chicago, Sep 29, 2026):

    • Pro upgrade / weekly meter reset shown at 18:09.
    • The main Work session ran for about three hours, until roughly 21:09.
    • During that period I used Work for eight chapters of writing/review work.
    • By 22:32, the weekly meter showed only 89% remaining.

    I’m not claiming this alone proves a metering bug, because task complexity and accounting rules may affect consumption. But the rate was unexpectedly high compared with what I understood the Pro allowance to provide, and the UI does not make the per-task quota cost transparent enough to predict this beforehand.

    Could OpenAI clarify:

    1. how Work usage is currently converted into the weekly Pro allowance,
    2. whether the Sep 29 Pro tier changes altered the effective Work/Codex allowance or accounting rate for existing/new $200 Pro subscribers,
    3. whether there is a way to audit task-level usage so users can reconcile the meter with actual Work activity?

    There are multiple public reports of unusually fast weekly quota consumption, so a clear official explanation of the accounting method would be very helpful.
