OpenAI set up a "warroom" to investigate user reports that its Codex coding agent is hitting usage limits faster than usual. An update on OpenAI's status page said that some users' Codex limits are "depleting faster than expected," related to its "abuse and fraud prevention systems incorrectly rate limiting certain accounts." Thibault Sottiaux, the engineering lead for OpenAI's Codex, said on Sunday that the company implemented an across-the-board reset of user caps while it looked into the issue. "Codex team is in a warroom on a Sunday combing through logs and checking whether there is anything that could lead to increased usage drains for some users," Sottiaux said in a Sunday X post. A wide mix of Codex users took to X over the weekend to report reaching the limit faster compared to a week ago for similar tasks. One user wrote, "I have the $200 plan, and I had to work hard the entire week to burn through the 7 days' usage. The last two days burned the entire week's usage in one day each." OpenAI's status page added that the impact appears limited and it is continuing to monitor the situation.
