This isn't total usage loss, as the 9-sept-26 bug of usage dropping to zero. Its a measurable 9%, 20-25% loss without opening codex for 6-8 hours

i found out that claude code was randomly using codex exec behind the scenes.
"What was happening. The desk service had a scheduler module, added in a commit by Opus 5 in an earlier session, that ran one codex exec job for every verdict you submitted, every ASR transcript that finished, and every retrieval request. Between 2026-09-09 and today it ran 359 jobs to completion and had 42 more queued. "
