'58% to 0% in Eight Seconds': Codex Users Say Their Weekly Allowance Vanished on the Same Night
At least three developers opened issues on OpenAI's Codex GitHub repo on 16–17 October saying their weekly Codex allowance collapsed within seconds or minutes on the evening of 16 October (UTC). One logged 77% to 10% in 38 seconds; another says 48% to 0% in about nine minutes, after which extra credits were charged. The reporters say the cause isn't proven and ask OpenAI for a server-side check.
Key facts
- Issue #54718: about 58% remaining became 0% 'in roughly eight seconds', the developer says, during overnight client work.
- Issue #54677: 77% to 10% between 21:10:43 and 21:11:21 Moscow time, with the weekly reset time unchanged, per the developer's local logs.
- Issue #54767: 48% to 0% in about nine minutes, then 295.8 credits charged, per the developer.
- Similar complaints in May led a Codex team member to post that usage limits were 'out of sync for some Codex users' (quoted on OpenAI's community forum). We found no public OpenAI reply on the October issues.
