Codex CLI weekly limit % dropping significantly without usage (from 89% to 74% overnight) #7255
Closed as duplicate
Description
What version of Codex is running?
codex-cli 0.63.0
What subscription do you have?
Plus Plan
Which model were you using?
gpt-5.1 and gpt-5.1-codex-max
What platform is your computer?
Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26100.0 x64
What issue are you seeing?
The Codex CLI weekly limit percentage keeps dropping even when I’m not using it. For example, it was at 89% remaining yesterday, and when I checked again later it had dropped to 74%, despite not running any Codex CLI commands in between. It also appears to continue decreasing by about 1% at a time while I’m idle / doing nothing, which makes it look like I’m consuming quota even when there is no activity.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Use Codex CLI normally until your weekly limit shows some remaining percentage (e.g. 80–90%).
- Stop using the CLI and do not run any Codex-related commands for a while (e.g. several hours or overnight).
- Open Codex CLI again or check the weekly limit indicator.
- Observe that the weekly limit percentage has decreased (e.g. from 89% to 74%) even though no new usage has occurred.
What is the expected behavior?

It's not a duplicated issue, since my weekly usage dropped without any usage unlike the other issues right after updating the codex cli to the latest version, also I noticed that the rate at which the usage drops is significantly faster than it was before the update.

Maybe related : I notice the code review feature (when you open a PR on GitHub) consume normal usage. Maybe check if you open some pr in that timeframe.

I'm going to close this issue in favor if #7354 and post updates there.

I just saw my weekly limit drop from 27% to 0% in the space of about 10 minutes, without ANY USAGE. I even did a "log out of all sessions" to ensure there were no other usages happening, which did refresh the auth.json to a new cookie. Yet the problem persisted. The (weekly limit % left) seemed to start dropping when I entered a partial prompt in Cursor (within the Codex extension), but without sending the prompt, and before I even got the chance to send a prompt, it told me I was out of credits!
